Hand injuries can lead to cold intolerance symptoms like pain and stiffness, affecting over 64% of patients. These symptoms, collectively termed Trauma Induced Cold Associated Symptoms, can persist long after the initial injury.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Neurology
  • Vascular Medicine

Background:

  • Cold intolerance presents with diverse symptoms including pain, stiffness, altered sensibility, and color changes.
  • These symptoms can manifest individually or in combination.
  • Hand injuries are frequently associated with the development or exacerbation of cold-related symptoms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence and characteristics of cold intolerance symptoms following hand injury.
  • To identify the most and least troublesome symptoms experienced by patients.
  • To propose a definition for this symptom complex.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 200 patients with a history of hand injury.
  • Assessment of cold intolerance symptoms at 24 months post-injury.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Patient-reported outcome measures for symptom severity and impact.

    • Main Results:

    • Cold intolerance symptoms were reported by at least 64% of patients 24 months after hand injury.
    • Pain/discomfort was identified as the most troublesome symptom.
    • Color changes in digits were considered the least troublesome symptom.

    Conclusions:

    • Hand injuries significantly contribute to the development of cold intolerance symptoms, termed Trauma Induced Cold Associated Symptoms.
    • The onset of symptoms can be immediate or delayed, often linked to cold weather exposure.
    • Effective management strategies are needed for this patient population.
