“…Only at the beginning of the 21st century attitude toward low level laser therapy (LLLT) has changed, it was clearly shown that negative studies on LLLT were results of a wrong set of parameters, conclusions of these negative studies are quoted often while some read only abstracts, without scrutinizing a publication carefully. 1 LLLT has been applied in clinical practice since the 80's of the last century in many countries: Japan, 2 China, 3 Canada, 4 Northern Ireland, 5 Vietnam, 6 Latin America and Eastern Europe. 7 However, this highly effective method of treatment was never as widespread as in Russia.…”

In Russia (formerly USSR) study of biomodulation action (BMA) mechanisms of lowintensity laser irradiation (LILI) began in 1964, immediately after the development of lasers. During the period from 1965 to 1972 several dozens of scientific conferences were held, hundreds of studies were published. Generally, secondary mechanisms and results of LILI effect on patients with various diseases were studied. This data was immediately implemented into practical medicine in the fields of oncology, surgery, dermatology and dentistry, and since 1974 low level laser therapy (LLLT) is included in the standard of state medical care. For 50 years no less than 1000 books were published (monographs, collections, methodical and clinical materials), thousands of researches were carried out. Primary mechanism and patterns of interaction of LILI with acceptors within cells can be represented in the following order: absorption of photon's energy -emergence of a local temperature gradient -release of Ca 2+ from intracellular stores -stimulating Ca 2+ -dependent processes. Understanding of this process allowed the explanation of all known secondary effects, optimized methods and extremely increased effectiveness of LLLT. Owing to the knowledge of BMA mechanisms of LILI, numerous associated and combined LLLT techniques were developed and are widely used nowadays: locally, on the projection of internal organs, laser acupuncture, reflexology, intracavitary, transdermal and intravenous laser blood illumination, magnetic-laser therapy, laser phoresis, laser-vacuum massage, biomodulation, etc. About 400 000 laser therapeutic devices are used in Russian practical healthcare. Unique, having no analogues in the world devices, are produced -red pulsed laser diodes (wavelength 635 nm, power 5-40 W, pulse duration 100 ns, frequency 10 000 Hz) are designed specially for effective laser therapy.

“…Лазер описывается как источник света или энергии излучения [1]. Низкоинтенсивное лазерное излучение (НИЛИ) -это особый тип лазерного излучения, которое воздействует на биологические системы через нетепловые средства [3]. Эта область исследования началась с работы Mester и др.…”

“…Лазерную терапию активно начали применять в клинической практике с 1980-х гг. во многих странах: Японии [1], Китае [2], Канаде [3], Северной Ирландии [4], Вьетнаме [5], в странах Латинской Америки и Восточной Европы [6][7][8]. В основу лазерной терапии положен обнаруженный в ходе многочисленных исследований в 1970-х годах так называемый биостимулирующий, или биомодулирующий, как принято (более правильно) называть в настоящее время, эффект низкоинтенсивного лазерного излучения (НИЛИ) [9].…”

“…Наиболее понятным механизмом действия лазерного излучения на биообъекты с точки зрения физики является преобразование поглощенной энергии излучения в тепло. Этот вопрос многократно обсуждался в литературе [1][2][3][4][5][6], однако он часто на практике неоправданно игнорируется. Имеются многочисленные экспериментальные данные, показывающие, что при уровнях энергии, использующихся в НИЛИ, нагрев тканей не превышает 0,1 градуса [6], что, по мнению большинства специалистов, пренебрежимо мало.…”
