Summary

The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of cryoultrasound therapy versus diathermy in combination with high-intensity laser therapy for pain relief in male professional soccer players with muscle injuries. The main questions it intends to answer are:

• Is this combination of treatments effective in these patients in terms of pain relief?

Participants will receive a rehabilitation treatment consisting of cryo-ultrasound therapy and high intensity laser. Researchers will compare the group of participants, called the treatment group, with a control group to see if:

• Is the combined treatment of cryoultrasound therapy and high intensity laser more effective in these patients than the combination of diathermy and high intensity laser?
