However, the likely cause was from evaporative cooling despite menthol-derived increases in cutaneous blood flow and cooling sensation.
Nevertheless, the menthol effect could not have caused the observed intramuscular temperature decline as this was similar to the placebo gel both superficially (1 cm depth) and deep (3 cm) into the muscle.

Limitations of this study include: 1) the population used were young and healthy males free of any acute injury or chronic illness. decreased by 67% for all three treatments and contralateral legs across the time course with no differences between them ( Figure 5B). C temperature decline difference between ice and menthol gel treatment for 95% power was used to calculate a minimum sample size requirement of n=5 (G*Power) was estimated (5% significance level).
Then femoral arterial blood flow was recorded using a 10-MHz multifrequency linear array transducer attached to a high- resolution ultrasound machine (Sonosite, M Turbo, FUJIFILM SonoSite, Inc. The diameter, velocity, and flow were then calculated as the mean of the data acquired across each 30-second period for statistical analysis. Nevertheless, to fully understand menthol analgesic effects further study using menthol gel to treat exercise induced muscle damage and soft tissue injury is needed. Ice packs reduced intramuscular temperature, alongside cutaneous blood flow, to a greater extent than both gels immediately following treatment but was similar by 80 minutes.
When controlling for the effects of rest and massage of gel into the leg, the authors compared the treated leg with the contralateral untreated leg: both intramuscular depths displayed significant interactions for both menthol (1 cm: F 9,71=9. The lotion contains shea butter, aloe, and vitamin E; the scent of Vicks® contains eucalyptus, menthol, and camphor. Participants abstained from strenuous exercise and followed their usual dietary habits for 24 h prior to test sessions, which were conducted at the same time of day to account for circadian variation.
