Associations of Laser Therapy, Low-Level with chemical compounds

  • Efficacy of 904 nm gallium arsenide low level laser therapy in the management of chronic myofascial pain in the neck: a double-blind and randomize-controlled trial [1].
  • STUDY DESIGN/MATERIALS AND METHODS: We have investigated the effects of low power laser irradiation on the loss of electrical excitability of hippocampal brain slices after a transient exposure to a perfusion medium lacking oxygen and containing reduced glucose concentrations [15].
  • CONCLUSIONS: These findings provide preliminary evidence that low level laser therapy with Gallium Arsenide laser may be a promising adjunctive therapy for patients with tuberculosis [16].
  • CONCLUSION: LLLT accelerated healing, caused by the steroid, acting as a biostimulative coadjutant agent, balancing the undesirable effects of cortisone on the tissue healing process [9].
  • Unilateral cases of either type of epicondylitis (n = 283) were randomly allocated to one of three treatment groups according to the LLLT technique applied: (1) Trigger points; (2) Scanner; (3) Combination Treatment (i.e., TPs and scanner technique) [17].
 

Gene context of Laser Therapy, Low-Level

  • We assessed the effectiveness of LLLT in the treatment of RA and OA [18].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Light from a low-power laser (LLLT) may be valuable in the treatment of DS [19].
  • BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Mast cell activation by low-level laser therapy (LLLT), leading to degranulation and the release of mediators, may be one of the mechanisms by which LLLT can accelerate tissue repair in mammals [20].
  • On the other hand, LLLT by itself was found less effective than PHA [21].
  • It is time to test low level laser therapy in Great Britain [22].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Laser Therapy, Low-Level

  • RESULTS: In patients with RA, relative to a separate control group, LLLT reduced pain by 70% relative to placebo and reduced morning stiffness by 27.5 min (95% CI -52.0 to -2.9), and increased tip to palm flexibility by 1.3 cm (95% CI -1.7 to -0.8) [18].
  • Trials were identified by a literature search of Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register. Only randomized controlled trials of LLLT for the treatment of patients with a clinical diagnosis of RA or OA were eligible [18].
  • There is a need to investigate the effects of these factors on effectiveness of LLLT for RA and OA in randomized controlled clinical trials [18].
  • OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess, through near-infrared Raman spectroscopy (NIRS), the incorporation of hydroxyapatite of calcium (CHA; approximately 960 cm(1))--on the healing bone around dental implants submitted or not to low-level laser therapy (LLLT) (lambda830 nm) [23].
  • On the one hand, this meta-analysis found that pooled data gave some evidence of a clinical effect, but the outcomes were in conflict, and it must therefore be concluded that firm documentation of the application of LLLT in RA is not possible [24].
