Abstract
This paper presents the biological effects of the low level laser therapy
(LLLT) with static magnetic field. The therapy was applied either alone or
combined with conventional therapy for the treatment of acute and chronic
pain. Two groups of volunteers with a variety of conditions were randomly
selected from the patients who were usually treated by conventional therapy.
The LLLT with static magnetic field was proposed to the first group as
extension of the conventional treatment. The second group underwent only
the LLLT with static magnetic field. LLLT was performed with an optical
and magnetic system specially designed for this purpose. Short–term and
long–term effects as well as conditions responding only to LLLT were
recorded. Results indicate disappearing or stable reduction of pain in most
cases, while partial restoration of mobility was noticed in some other cases.
The success of the treatment was up to 70% for both groups
