When your joints are painful or your muscles ache, topical painkillers -- those you apply to your skin -- may offer relief. You'll find many products for topical pain relief at your local drugstore. Others can be prescribed by your doctor. Suitable for Sensitive Skin: Aveeno Skin Relief Soothing Lotion with Menthol is suitable for dry, sensitive, irritable skin. For example, a study published in 2013 in the Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy found that a 3.5 percent menthol gel improved functioning and decreased pain for patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Menthol topical Side Effects: Common, Severe, Long Term Menthol topical Side Effects: Common, Severe, Long Term

Various methods of ice application including cold water immersion have been used to treat DOMS with inconclusive results. 4 Isabell et al 5 found no clinically significant effect of ice massage on DOMS. Connolly et al 4 countered in their review that cold water immersion has been shown to be effective in providing some relief of DOMS. Although ice is commonly used to alleviate pain 6 the evidence for its effectiveness for relieving DOMS is contradictory. Sommer C, Cruccu G. Topical treatment of peripheral neuropathic pain: applying the evidence. Journal of Pain and Symptom Management. 2017;53(3):614-629. doi.org:10.1016/j.jpainsymman.2016.09.015 Look after your skin this autumn Rehydrate and soothe skin dried by season eczema, and restore your skin’s natural moisture levels. Available in four strengths The menthol based topical analgesic permitted greater evoked tetanic forces following DOMS than ice. Unfortunately, VAS for pain was not employed during the tetanic contractions. However, all participants in this study and the many previous studies from this laboratory have all commented on the substantially greater discomfort experienced during evoked tetanic versus voluntary contractions. Electrical stimulation of muscle through the skin can activate cutaneous pain receptors, 44 with greater magnitudes of pain experienced with increasing frequency of stimulation. 45 Furthermore the stimulator provides synchronous muscle activation 45 rather than a typical physiological asynchronous stimulation 46 resulting in a cramp-like sensation. This cramp-like contraction can also stimulate mechanical nociceptors contributing to the pain sensation. 44 Hence in the present study, the milder discomfort associated with a voluntary contraction did not allow subjects to differentiate between the topical analgesic and ice but the greater discomfort or pain of the tetanic cramp-like contraction was ameliorated to a greater degree by the menthol based topical analgesic. Thus the menthol based topical analgesic provided greater pain tolerance allowing higher evoked contraction forces to be produced. In terms of injury rehabilitation, the menthol-based analgesic would allow higher contraction forces to be elicited with functional electrical stimulation training.

Uses of menthol include flavoring foods, cigarettes, liqueurs, and cosmetics. Menthol crystals are also used medicinally in cough drops, nasal inhalers and topical ointments.
