The more
LLLT a nerve gets, the more it repairs itself; just like a plant would be getting more water, sunlight and nutrients.
LLLT. The laser parameters used in the studies are reported in Table II.
The first group received ESWT (Group 1, n=17) and the second group received
LLLT (Group 2, n=17).
Many studies evaluated the influences of
LLLT with the various mediators such as the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B (RANK)/RANK ligand (RANKL) (11), the macrophage colony-stimulating factor/its receptor (12), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (13), matrix metalloproteinase-9, cathepsin K, and alpha(v) beta(3) [a(v)b3] integrin (14), and consequently suggested that low level therapy had an influence on the acceleration of the tooth movement by supporting the alveolar bone remodeling.
When the values obtained by each of the therapies were individually observed, it was evident that for the potassium nitrate group, the results obtained in terms of desensitization took place gradually, while with the use of
LLLT, values were generated immediately and lasted along the full follow up (30 days).
The
LLLT was performed by the Gallium-Aluminum-Arsenide (GaAlAs) laser (BTL, Prague, Czech Republic) with wavelength of 830 nm.
No study has been conducted so far, at least to the best of our knowledge, to see the physical change of the partial tear of supraspinatus tendon in terms of tendon thickness and tear width using musculoskeletal ultrasound after application of
LLLT. There is need to conservatively treat the partial tear of supraspinatus tendon conservatively before referring the patients for surgery or injection therapy.
Figure 2 illustrates the mean difference and 95% CI values for pain relief as measured by VAS in these six studies for the physical-agent modalities
LLLT, thermal therapies, TENS, and electromagnetic field therapy.
In humans, we initially assessed
LLLT in patients with hypothyroidism caused by chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (CAT) in a pilot study [5].
("
LLLTs"), (161) called by some "the most expansive model
In addition, there is still doubt as to the optimum time of when to apply low level laser therapy (
LLLT).
LLLT, or Low Level Laser Therapy, is performed with "cold" or "soft" lasers, which penetrate the skin's surface with minimal heating.
