Hot water immersion treatment for lion’s mane jellyfish stings in A randomized trial of 127 patients found that application of hot packs for 10 minutes reduced pain more than cold or room-temperature packs (odds ratio = 5.2; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.3 to 22.8; number needed to treat [NNT] = 8.3).2 A randomized trial of 96 patients in Australia found that application of hot packs reduced pain 42% more than cold packs (95% CI, 19% to 60%; NNT = 2.4).13, A retrospective review of 32 analyzable medical records found that a 20-minute hot shower reduced pain more than parenteral analgesics (e.g., meperidine [Demerol], butorphanol, morphine, ketorolac; odds ratio = 22.0; P = .0485).3 A randomized trial of 27 patients in Florida found a decrease in pain at one hour after application of hot water compared with cold (89% vs. 56%; P < .05; NNT = 3).15, A randomized paired trial of 25 volunteers found a nonsignificant reduction in pain from the application of topical heat compared with topical papain or vinegar (difference of 1.1 out of 10 at two minutes [95% CI, 0.6 to 1.6] and 1.6 out of 10 at 20 minutes [95% CI, 0.9 to 2.3]).4, In another randomized study, 20 volunteers were stung with Physalia tentacles.12 The sting site was divided into four quadrants, which were treated with topical vinegar, a commercial acetic acid compound, methylated spirits, or sea water.
