The therapeutic effects of various types of laser beams and the various
techniques employed are studied. Clinical and experimental research has
shown that Helio-Neon laser beams are most effective as biological
stimulants and in reducing inflammation. For this reasons they are best used
in dermatological surgery cases (varicose ulcers, decubital and surgical
wounds, keloid scars, etc.). Infrared diode laser beams have been shown to
be highly effective painkillers especially in painful pathologies like
postherpetic neuritis. The various applications of laser therapy in
acupuncture, the treatment of reflex dermatologia and optic fibre
endocavital therapy are presented. The neurophysiological bases of this
therapy are also briefly described.
