conclusions accordingly, laser therapy in our protocol seemed to affect some of the nerve growth parameters, mostly on motor rather than sensory fibers. results in the two -point discrimination- test, there was no significant difference between the two groups in the thumbs but a significant improvement was observed in the index finger of the lt group. improvement of muscular examinations such a...

introduction: oral mucositis is considered a severe complication in cancer patients receiving radiotherapy or chemotherapy for head and neck cancer. the aim of this review study was to assess the effect of low level laser therapy for prevention and management of oral mucositis in cancer patients. methods: the electronic databases searched included pubmed, isi web of knowledge and google scholar...

Background: Low-level lasers are used for various medical applications including wound healing and hair loss treatment. Cell Therapy using skin stem cells could be a novel approach to hair transplantation. However, there is no study on the effect of low-level laser on the hair follicle stem cells. So, in this study, we investigated the effect of low level laser irradiation on viability and ROS ...

introduction: photobiostimulation with low level laser (lll) has been used in medicine for a long time and its effects have been shown in many diseases. some studies have evaluated the effect of lll on androgenic alopecia. one of the most important limitations of the use of lll in the treatment of alopecia is the requirement for multiple sessions, which is hardly accepted by patients. this stud...

introduction: laser phototherapy is used for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis in patients with leukemia, although there are limited data supporting the safety of this method. this study aimed to evaluate the effect of different doses of low-level laser on proliferation of acute myeloid leukemia (aml) cell line (kg-1a) in vitro. methods: a plastic flask containing 5,000,000 k...

it is the output power and density of the lasers which determine whether a laser is a low or high-power one. if the density is less than 670mw/cm2, the laser is called a low power one. the output power of these lasers is usually less than 250mw. they use different mechanisms to accelerate wound healing such as: cellular biostimulation, improvement of circulation, vasodilation, analgesic and ant...

there is just one study about the effects of 830 nm low power laser (lpl) on conduction velocity of sural nerve in human. considering the fact that the sural nerve is a pure sensory nerve, therefore, for determining the effect of lpl on electrophysiological parameters of the nerve in human, this study was carried out as a base for further basic and clinical researches. thirty eight normal volun...

INTRODUCTION The long duration of orthodontic treatment is a major concern for patients. A noninvasive method of accelerating tooth movement in a physiologic manner is needed. The aim of this study was to evaluate of the efficacy of low-intensity laser therapy in reducing orthodontic treatment duration and pain. METHODS Twenty patients requiring extraction of first premolars were selected for...
