[Personal experience in clinical use of low power laser therapy]

Abstract

The results of our own clinical trials regarding therapeutical effects of low power lasers in the treatment of some diseases of motional system, skin and lesions of peripheral circulation were presented in the paper. The laser therapy was used in over 320 patients in period of last 3 years. The infra-red laser (wave-length 904 nm, mean power 4 mW) was used. The procedures were performed daily, for 5 days a week in 2 stages: the scan of sore region (3-min.) and the irradiation of trigger points (2-3 min. each). As a result of 10-25 procedures a significant clinical improvement in 65-90% patients was obtained. On the base of obtained results one can conclude that low-power laser therapy could make a useful supplementary method of treatment of overloading syndrome of motional system, postthrombotic syndrome, lymphatic edema and trophic lesions of skin.
