Biochemical studies of opiate system in patients with occupational diseases
showed the role of the central pain regulating system inducing the pain
syndrome in autonomic and sensory polyneuropathy caused by occupational
factors. Increased production of the pain-reducing endogenic neuropeptides
such as endorphin and leucine enkephalin was found one of the He-Ne laser
acting principles which restore the pain adaptation in human. A repeated
course of laser therapy would normalize the content of both neuropeptides.
Blood levels of neuropeptides may serve for evaluating the pain syndrome and
estimating of laser therapy effects
