Phototherapy induced mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signalregulated protein kinase (MAPK/ERK) phosphorylation in these cells, probably by specific receptor phosphorylation.
OPEN FILEConclusion: Low intensity laser therapy was effective in the improvement of collagen fibers organization of the calcaneous tendon after undergoing a partial lesion.
OPEN FILEConclusions: Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) had no effect on the studied parameters. The vascularization of rat tendon is similar to that of humans, which contributes to the studies of therapies that have been applied in humans.
OPEN FILEConclusions: Manual-type therapies and some physiologic therapeutic modalities have acceptable evidentiary support in the treatment of MPS and TrPs.
OPEN FILEThese findings mandate the conclusion that laser phototherapy is a highly effective therapeutic armamentarium for tissue repair and pain relief.
OPEN FILEAdditionally, application of PBMT after ESWT was shown to be superior over ESWT and PBMT alone, and ESWT was superior over PBMT in terms of reducing pain sensitivity and increasing function.
OPEN FILEConclusions: LLLT stimulated collagen I proliferation, improving the injured Achilles tendons’ healing process.
OPEN FILEThe use of low level laser (light) therapy (LLLT) has recently expanded to cover areas of medicine that were not previously thought of as the usual applications such as wound healing and inflammatory orthopedic conditions. One of these novel application areas is LLLT for muscle fatigue and muscle injury.
OPEN FILEConclusions: The photobiomodulation protocol was able to reduce MMP-1 and MMP-13 levels in injured calcaneal tendons.
OPEN FILEConclusions: LLLT showed a significant superiority over commonly used anti-inflammatory pharmaceutical agents in acute collagenase-induced tendinitis.
