Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Compare three methods of cryotherapy (ice water, soft ice, ice gel) in healthy women. The pack were applied once (one session) for twenty minutes on the right thigh.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 4654 0
What kind of pack reduce more the temperature of the skin. A digital Minipa (registered trade mark) model MT 405 thermometer was used to monitor the right thigh temperature.
Timepoint [1] 4654 0
The temperature of skin of right thigh was verified before we applied pack, after 5, 10, 15 and 20 minutes the intervention was started.
Secondary outcome [1] 7869 0
what kind of pack reduce more the temperature of the skin with less bad sensation. A digital Minipa (registered trade mark) model MT 405 thermometer monitor was used on the right thigh to control the temperature. We used a questionnaire developed to use in this particular research project where the women related the sensation during pack application, in 5, 10, 15 and 20 minutes after start intervention
Timepoint [1] 7869 0
5, 10 and 20 minutes after the begin of intervention
