Cryotherapy is widely used in veterinary medicine to manage pain and swelling, yet optimal methods for specific tissue depths remain unclear. Cryotherapy modalities, including cold packs (CPs), cold compression (CC), and hyperbaric gaseous cryotherapy (HGC), were applied to nine beagle dogs under general anaesthesia. A custom 3D-printed guide facilitated consistent and accurate measurements of tissue temperatures at depths of 1 and 3 cm. After a 20 min application, all modalities significantly reduced the muscular tissue temperatures at both measured depths. HGC exhibited the most effective rapid temperature reduction, whereas CC displayed the most extended sustained cooling effect. In comparison, CPs showed a lower temperature reduction. The effectiveness of cryotherapy varies with tissue depth, and selecting the appropriate method can improve therapeutic outcome.
冷冻疗法在兽医学中被广泛用于控制疼痛和肿胀，但针对特定组织深度的最佳方法仍不明确。在全身麻醉下，将包括冷敷袋（CPs）、冷压缩（CC）和高压气态冷冻疗法（HGC）在内的冷冻疗法应用于9只比格犬。一个定制的3D打印导向装置有助于在1厘米和3厘米深度一致且准确地测量组织温度。在应用20分钟后，所有方法均显著降低了两个测量深度处的肌肉组织温度。HGC表现出最有效的快速降温，而CC显示出最长的持续冷却效果。相比之下，CPs的降温幅度较小。冷冻疗法的效果因组织深度而异，选择合适的方法可以改善治疗效果。
