First seen Dec 15, 2025 · Last updated May 05, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study looked at how a 15-minute ice pack on the back of the hand changes skin temperature and how cold or comfortable it feels. Thirty-nine healthy young men took part, with half getting an ice pack and the other half a room-temperature water pack. The goal was to understand basic body responses to cold, not to treat any disease.
