| مستخلص: | The ability of Voltaren® Emulgel® and Cryotherapy in the reduction of the signs and symptoms of DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) was tested and compared. Fourty-two participants were randomly divided into 3 groups. Group 1 (n=17) received ice treatment. Group 2 (n=19) received Voltaren Emulgel treatment and Group 3 (n=6) was a control group which received a placebo cream treatment. DOMS was induced through a protocol involving repeated eccentric loading of the bicep brachii during an eccentric bicep curl. ROM (Range of motion), pain and circumference measurements were taken before the exercise session, directly thereafter, 24 hours post-exercise, as well as 48 hours post exercise. Voltaren Emulgel group, Cryotherapy group as well as the Controls showed similar reductions in swelling over the 24-hour and 48-hour periods. A similar increase in pain is shown by all three groups during the pre-test to post-test period. From the post-test to the 24-hour measurement the pain rating decreased in both the Cryotherapy and Control groups, with a similar increase in pain noted for the 24 to 48-hour period. The Voltaren Emulgel group followed a different pattern and showed a gradual increase in pain throughout the experiment. All three groups revealed a reduction in ROM after performing the bouts of eccentric exercise. There was, however no significant increase in ROM in the recovery period. This study confirmed findings from previous investigations that application of the therapeutic modalities tested in this study over short duration is ineffective in reducing DOMS.
