dc.description.abstractIntroduction.– Reduction in neuronal activity, oxidative stress and inflammatory processes are supposed to impact the cognitive processes. Whole-body cryotherapy (WBC), used mostly in rehabilitation, is a biological intervention by exposure to extremely low temperatures. There are some research showing its antiinflammatory and anti-oxidative effects which suggests that it may be used in other medical fields. Aim.– The assessment of whole-body cryotherapy effect on cognitive functions, mood and blood parameters measures among people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Materials and methods.– 21 people with MCI (21 ≤ MoCA test ≥ 26) recruited to participate in the study underwent 10 WBC sessions (−110 ◦C do −160 ◦C). They were assessed before (T1), after the last WBC session (T2) and at follow-up after two weeks using DemTect, SLUMS, TYM, FAS, GDS. Additionally, BDNF, NO, interleukins (IL6, IL-8, IL-10) were measured in T1 and T2. Obtained data were statistically analysed. Results.– The memory processes, measured by DemTect and TYM, improved significantly (P = 0.000 i P = 0.0001, respectively). Moreover, participants declared the increase of their activity level (GDS, item 13) in T2 and T3 (P = 0.009). The NO level in plasma raised significantly (P = 0.014) and IL-6 level decreased (p=0.023) with the increase of BDNF concentration (P = 0.031). Conclusions.– Short, repetitive exposure on extreme low temperatures may be a possible additional form of therapy in mild cognitive impairment. The possible explanations are immunostimulative and immunomodulative role of WBC.
