Reported findings and study design
The treated skin site was 7.4% cooler immediately and 5.86% cooler after 15 minutes versus an untreated site after application of the relaxant cream with ultrasound.
The article describes ten physically active participants, ten with sports injuries and three with skin burns. Local measurements used thermography and tissue impedance. The relaxant cream was applied with ultrasound and compared with an untreated skin site.
Dose, route and schedule
Topical VIVAX SPORT formulations. The relaxant cream included menthol and amino-acid complexes. The intervention does not isolate a peptide.

| Measure | Result | Comparison, timing and statistics |
|---|---|---|
| Relaxant cream · skin temperature | 7.4% lower immediately and 5.86% lower at 15 min | Versus the untreated skin site after ultrasound-assisted cream application. |
| Injured skin impedance before treatment | 120.47±7.96 Ω versus 213.94±4.42 Ω on uninjured skin | The paper reports that the injured and uninjured sites did not differ significantly at 48 hours. |
| Skin pH in the cream test | 5.2±0.1 before and 5.3±0.2 after | A short local measurement. A systematic adverse-event assessment is not supplied. |

Methods, limitations & source review
Study limitations
- Menthol, ultrasound and other formulation ingredients cannot be separated from the amino-acid complexes. Skin temperature and impedance are indirect endpoints.
Publication counts are not counts of independent trials. Reviews, translations and reports sharing participants may overlap. Findings apply to the studied preparation, population and endpoints.
