Methods: This study was conducted on 35 normal females, none of whom had any sensory psychical problems. By using of electrical stimulator set (50µs, 100Hz), the pain and sensory threshold were measured at four stages from a point that was 5cm above the radial crease of wrist (Before using of cold, 15 and 30 minutes after using of cold). Ice-pack was used for using of cold. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics and paired T-test. Findings: The results showed that there is a significant difference between the mean of sensory and pain threshold before using of cold, 15 and 30 minutes after using of cold (P<0.001). Conclusion: Application of cold increases sensory and pain threshold significantly.Z Rojhani ShiraziBabol University of Medical Sciencesarticlesensory thresholdpain thresholdelectrical stimulationcoldMedicineRMedicine (General)R5-920ENFAMajallah-i Dānishgāh-i ̒Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Bābul, Vol 3, Iss 3, Pp 26-29 (2001)
