the effect of low intensity laser radiation in the treatment of acute and chronic pain is now established in many studies. trigeminal neuralgia is a pain passes through nerve’s branches and its trigger is located in skin or mucosa that could lead to pain with a trigger stimulus. the pain involved branches of trigeminal nerve that sometimes has patients to seek the treatment for several years. n...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of high intensity laser therapy (HILT) on pain and function in patients with knee osteoarthritis. [Subjects and Methods] In this study, an experiment was conducted on 20 subjects who were divided into the control group (n=10), which would receive conservative physical therapy (CPT), and the experimental group (n=10), which would rec...

Knee osteoarthritis (KOA), the most common type of osteoarthritis (OA), is associated with pain and inflammation of the joint capsule, impaired muscular stabilization, reduced range of motion and functional disability. High-intensity laser therapy (HILT) involves higher-intensity laser radiation and causes minor and slow light absorption by chromophores. Light stimulation of the deep structures...

Introduction: Mucogingival surgery is performed to correct defects in the morphology, position, and/or amount of gingiva. Such post-operative complications as bleeding, swelling, and pain have often been documented after mucogingival surgery and are associated with discomfort after surgery. The low-intensity laser has been used to promote analgesia. Low level laser therapy (LLLT) not only accel...

statement of the problem: recurrent aphthous stomatitis (ras) is one of the most common lesions in the oral cavity. due to its multifactorial nature, there is no definitive treatment for ras. laser therapy is one of the suggested treatments to reduce patient’s discomfort. purpose: the purpose of the present clinical trial is to assess the effect of low and high level laser therapy on pain contr...

introduction: myofascial pain syndrome (mps) treatment is challenging with a high recurrence rate and still lacks a clear treatment frame. therefore research on new, more efficient and long lasting effect treatment modalities is necessary. this study looked at the effects of intravenous laser therapy (ivl) and percutaneous low level laser (plll) in the management of shoulder mps. methods: in th...
