OUR CLINICAL-EXPERIENCE IN LOW-ENERGY LASER MEDICAL TREATMENTS

In clinical research the efficiency of low-energy laser (LEL) therapy remains controversial. We present here some of the most important resu lts of our clinical experience in this field. We summarize our opinion s about the LEL effects in rheumatic diseases, in chronic pelvic infla mmatory disorders, in the treatment of some dermatological disorders, and in the recovery of the distal forearm nerve from traumatic lesion after surgical suture. We conclude that these results may be important evidence for the real clinical efficiency of the LEL. (C) 1996 Societ y of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.
