Application of laser radiation and magnetostimulation in therapy of patients with multiple sclerosis

Abstract

This study showed that synergic action of laser radiation and magneto stimulation has a beneficial effect on improving functional status, and thus improves the quality of life of patients with multiple sclerosis. The effects of all methods of rehabilitation are persisted after cessation of treatment applications, with a particular advantage of the synergistic action of laser radiation and magneto stimulation, which indicates the possibility to elicitation in these methods the phenomenon of the biological hysteresis.

Effects of photobiomodulation on interleukin-10 and nitrites in individuals with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis – Randomized clinical trial

“…[18] However, medical and physiotherapeutic treatments are limited and new therapeutic modalities are needed to impede the progression of the disease. [10] The present study demonstrated that both forms of irradiation were effective at increasing the expression of IL-10 and may be used to complement the management of MS.…”

“…It is an important inhibitor of Th1 cytokines and deactivator of monocytes/macrophages, blocking the synthesis of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Since this is an important mechanism for the treatment of MS. [9,10] Currently, there is no cure for MS, although there are medications that can delay the progression of the disease. [10,11] Thus, strategies for increasing IL-10 may be effective, as individuals with MS have lower levels of IL-10 compared to healthy individuals.…”

Effect of photobiomodulation treatment in the sublingual, radial artery region, and along the spinal column in individuals with multiple sclerosis

“…[ 1 , 2 ] MS has a complex, multifactor etiology that is not fully understood, but it is believed that the formation of demyelinating lesions may be due to autoimmune processes as well as environmental and genetic factors. [ 3 , 4 ]…”

“…[ 9 , 10 ] Myelin and oligodendrocyte damage caused by inflammation gives rise to a multitude of symptoms, such as sensory alterations, fatigue, physical and/or mental disability, balance disorders, spasticity, muscle weakness, urinary incontinence, cognitive impairment, neuropathic pain, and visual deficiency.
