“…Badania dowodzą, że laseroterapia jest skuteczna w poprawie jakości życia i stanu funkcjonalnego pacjentów z fibromialgią [34]. W porównaniu do zastrzyków zawierających lidokainę, efekt przeciwbólowy jest taki sam [35]. Zmniejszenie bólu, poprawa sprawności mięśni czy spadek objawów depresji to najczęstsze efekty stosowania terapii laserem niskoenergetycznym (LLLT).…”

Introduction and purpose: Fibromyalgia is a disease with many symptoms that are difficult to treat. The most troublesome element is muscle, bone or joint pain. Importantly, the diagnosis of this disease is based on the physical examination and the subjective examination, which shows that there are no laboratory tests to confirm its presence. Public awareness of fibromyalgia is negligible, while more research is needed on the treatment of this disease and the possible alternatives associated with it. The aim of this study was to analyze the available literature on the basis of the PubMed scientific database, considering only scientific articles that were published within the last 5 years. The following keywords were used: fibromyalgia and physiotherapy, fibromyalgia and cannabis, fibromyalgia and cytokines. Description of the state of knowledge: Treatments related to cannabinoids and physiotherapy are still developing fields of knowledge. More than 40 papers related to the topic of the study were used for the review. The need for further research is apparent, especially randomized studies in which allocation to an experimental or control group is completely random. The question of investigating the long-term effectiveness of a given treatment is also not negligible, as many studies do not have a so-called follow-up. Conclusion: Cannabinoids are effective in the treatment of complaints associated with fibromyalgia. Exercise, laser therapy and acupuncture reduce pain and improve quality of life in patients with fibromyalgia. More research on this disease is needed, especially with larger patient groups.

“…According to American College of Rheumatology -ACR, it is a musculoskeletal chronic condition which is characterized by pain which is generalized and the body is sensitive when 11-18 points at specific areas also called tender points, are palpated during 3 months. 19 Various treatment options are available for relieving the fibromyalgia symptoms like instructions to the patient, exercises, psychotherapy, alternative medicine, pharmacologic treatment and Low Level Laser Therapy. Recent studies have shown that the low level laser therapy efficiently relieves pain in patients having fibromyalgia.…”

Laser technology is an important addition to both therapeutic and diagnostic modalities. It is a rapidly growing field and the surgeon must have thorough knowledge of the current literature and also of the advancements so as to perform the laser surgical procedures efficiently and effectively. The surgeon must also be aware of the benefits, safety and hazards of the lasers and must follow the safety guidelines. Advances in the laser systems make the procedures easier to perform. Incorporating the lasers in the oral and maxillofacial surgery practice has led to improvement in the patient care. In this article, we have summarized the application of lasers in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery by review of literatures.

“…Most of the studies included in this integrative review presented positive results for pain management in the head and neck muscles (1,6,11,13,15,(17)(18)(19)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(32)(33)(34)(35)(38)(39)(40)42,44,46,(50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55)(56)(57) . For pain, there is evidence that PBM blocks the axonal transport of thin nerves, resulting in decreased mitochondrial membrane potential with a consequent decrease in the available ATP necessary for nerve function (11,62) .…”

Purpose To carry out an integrative review of the literature on the use of photobiomodulation (PBM) for the head and neck muscles. Research strategy The research took place between June/2019 and March/2021, in the following databases: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS, and SciELO. The MeSH used were Low-Level Light Therapy, Phototherapy, Masseter Muscle, Masticatory Muscles, Tongue, Palate, Mouth, Neck Muscles, and Facial Muscles in English and Portuguese. No limitation was imposed on the year and language of publication. Selection criteria studies that answered the guiding question: what is the use of photobiomodulation to the head and neck muscles?. Results 2857 articles were found, of which 102 were selected for full reading, 52 of those were excluded, giving a total of 50 articles included. The included publications date from 2003 to 2020. Brazil was the country that most published on the topic. With regard to the objectives, 82% of the studies aimed to investigate the analgesic effect of PBM, of these, 50% were related to articular or muscular temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The heterogeneity of the studies makes it impossible to define the dose protocols. Conclusion PBM has been applied to the head and neck muscles mainly for the treatment of pain caused by TMD. There is no treatment protocol to define the doses to be used, due the heterogeneity of the methodologies applied and results found.
