Low-level laser therapy for treating myofascial pain syndromes of vertebral genesis

• mechanisms of therapeutic effects of low-level laser

irradiation

• types of low-level laser therapy

• low-level laser dosing and its methodology

Page 2: Low-level laser therapy for treating myofascial pain syndromes of vertebral genesis

Mechanisms of laser interaction with biotissues are usually studied in two directions:

• Evaluation of physiological reactions to laser light

• Search for the primary acceptor with which light photon interacts

Page 3: Low-level laser therapy for treating myofascial pain syndromes of vertebral genesis

1. Biological effects caused by laser irradiation are seen in all spectrum ranges

2. Biological effects caused by laser irradiation are dose-dependent

Dependence of biological reactions on the dosage of low-level laser irradiation

Types of low-level laser therapy

By the location:1) external

contact distant

2) internalintracavitalintravascular

3) combined

Tactical aims of laser light impacts• Irradiation of myofascial painful zones • Irradiation of reflexive zones and acupuncture points. • Irradiation of the projection of inner organs• Irradiation of the projection of vascular and nervous bundles • Others (stimulation of the proliferative neuron activity, local control of oxyhemoglobin dissociation)

 Irradiation powerEnergetic characteristics of the electromagnetic irradiation(Unit of measurement in SI – Wt) Energy (dose)Power of electromagnetic wave generated in one time unit (Unit of measurement in SI - J or Wt.sec.) Energy density (dose density)Basic unit for measuring laser impact.(Unit of measurement in SI - J/m2 . In practice we use J/cm2 ) 

Dose density is calculated by the equation: 

D= P·T/S [Wt·sec/ cm2]

Where:D - dose densityPower – average irradiation powerT - exposure timeS- irradiation area

• Superficial dosing depending of the absorbed dosage is: 5x60x(1-0,38)x3000x0.0000001=0.056 J/cm2 • Pulsed power at 3-cm depth - 0.02 Wt Dosing at this depth depending of the absorbed dosage is about: 0,02x60x3000x0,0000001 = 0,0004 Дж/см2. • To get dosage 0.056 J/cm2 at 3-cm depth and on 1cm2

area the exposure time must be 140 minutes (!).• At pulsed power 60Wt a tissue layer located at 3-cm depth gets 0.24 Wt

and the necessary exposure time is 0.56/0.24x3000x0.0000001=777sec (14 min) • Dosage on the skin under such conditions will be 60x777x0.68x3000x0.0000001=8.7 J/cm2
