Low-power laser therapy in rheumatoid arthritis

Influence of low level laser therapy on wound healing and its biological action upon myofibroblasts

“…Few previous studies have analyzed histological variables in relation to their clinical relevance. As reported by others [21,22], the reduction of the extent of edema was an important early effect of laser therapy. Although Røynesdal et al [23] did not observe the prevention of early edema, it was a common event during this present study.…”

GaAs (904-nm) laser radiation does not affect muscle regeneration in mouse skeletal muscle

“…Some effects on the immune system has also been described such as sedimentation rates, platelet aggregation, leukocyte counts, and C reactive protein concentration [41,42,43].…”

Low Intensity laser therapy (830nm) in the management of minor postsurgical wounds: A controlled clinical study

“…The variable pattern found in these data may be explained in terms of extraneous factors, such as patients' intake of analgesics after surgery (see Table 2), which ethically could not be withheld. Direct comparison of current results to previous work on the analgesic effects of laser therapy [e.g., [31][32][33], therefore, is difficult. However, it should be stressed that in the case of the wounds investigated here, the problem is acute, nociceptive, postoperative pain, which should diminish concomitantly as wound healing occurs.…”
