How to choose pain-relieving patches
The effectiveness of pain-relieving patches depends on specific circumstances. One should choose based on the type of discomfort (such as acute or chronic, cool or warm) and personal preference. For acute muscle soreness or swelling, cooling patches are more suitable. For chronic pain, discomfort caused by cold or menstrual pain, temperature-sensitive patches may be more effective.
