Some research shows that taking an ice bath is most effective up to 24 hours after exercise to reduce muscle pain and soreness. Ice bath side effects and potential risks
Ice bath benefits include reducing pain and inflammation, relieving sore muscles and improving focus, sleep and stress. Here's how to take an ice bath at home.
Another agreed that a mere cold bath is preferable to ice baths which are "unnecessary." [ 18 ] A third report suggested that cool water (60–75 °F, 16–24 °C) was just as good as water at a lower temperature (54–60 °F, 12–16 °C) and that eight to ten minutes should be sufficient time, and warned against exceeding ten minutes.
The patient should remain in the ice bath until their body temperature falls to 102.2 degrees. Then, they can be transported to the hospital. Preparing for heat illness in a warming world
Cryotherapy is a specific type of low-temperature treatment used to reduce inflammation and its associated pain. [ 4 ] Cryotherapy was developed in the 1970s by Japanese rheumatologist Toshima Yamaguchi [ 5 ] [ 6 ] and introduced to Europe, US and Australia in the 1980s [ 7 ] [ 8 ] and 1990s.
At this time, due to the lack of evidence, there is no consensus on the ideal temperature ranges, time frames, application methods, or patient populations when using ice on a soft tissue injury. [16] Most studies use icing protocols of intermittent 10-20 minute applications, several times a day for the first few days following an injury.

Continuous cold therapy devices (also called ice machines) which circulate ice water through a pad are currently the subject of class action lawsuits for skin and tissue damage caused by excessive cooling or icing time and lack of temperature control. Reported injuries range from frostbite to severe tissue damage resulting in amputation.
