Photobiomodulation for Correction of Systemic Disorders of Experimental Pain Syndromes

Abstract

The development of anti-pain technologies in the complex treatment of pain syndromes is one of the most urgent tasks of modern medicine. We undertook a placebo-controlled experimental study of the therapeutic potential of low-intensity laser radiation when applied to acupuncture points that are directly related to the autonomic nervous system. The adaptation effect of puncture photobiomodulation on the induction of stress-mediated autonomic reactions, oxidative metabolism and microcirculation in animals during the acute phase of pain stress was revealed. The data obtained are of interest for use in the complex rehabilitation of patients with pain syndromes.
