The efficacy of cryotherapy, following the use of an ice bag, is evaluated in 21 patients of both sexes suffering from epicondilitis of the humerus. This treatment improved the clinical syndrome (pain and functional limitation) in 67% of the patients. Good results (4 cases - 19%) and negative results (3 cases - 14%) were also found, with the possibility of a relapse in the latter group.
