| Background The soothing cream (ZENEasy), when applied alongside the neuro-reset technique, has recently attracted public interest due to claims of rapid pain relief, reduced muscle tension, and improved range of motion, despite limited scientific evidence supporting these benefits. Objectives This pilot study aimed to preliminarily evaluate the immediate impact of soothing cream on pain intensity and lower-limb sensation among individuals experiencing knee pain. study design Seven participants (age: 26.42 ± 11.65 years; body weight: 58.71 ± 8.62 kg; height: 167.71 ± 3.73 cm) with self-reported knee pain (baseline VAS: 5.27 ± 1.15) were recruited. Participants were placed in a supine position, and a certified physiotherapist applied soothing cream to two lower-limb nerve-related points (saphenous nerve and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve) for 10 seconds each. Pain intensity, perceived lightness, movement ease, and discomfort were assessed before the intervention and again two minutes after application. Paired-samples t-tests were used to determine pre–post differences (p ＜0.05). Results Significant improvements were observed across all variables. Pain intensity decreased substantially (M ± SD = 4.51 ± 0.96, p < .001), while lightness (4.00 ± 1.00, p < .001), movement ease (3.86 ± 1.68, p = .001), and comfort levels improved significantly (4.00 ± 0.58, p < .001). Conclusions The soothing cream (ZENEasy), when combined with the Neuro-reset technique, demonstrated immediate positive effects on pain reduction and lower-limb sensation in this small cohort. Future research with larger sample sizes and standardized functional assessments is warranted to validate these preliminary findings and explore broader applications in pain management. |
