A wound healing study on rabbits suggested that 4 J/cm2 was the optimal dose. A clinical study was performed on 74 patients suffering from injuries of soft tissue upon traffic accidents and sport activities. Two types of lasers were used: 830 nm for Trigger point treatment and a combined 633/904 for scanning, both applied in monotherapy. Clinical parameters studied were redness, heat, pain, swelling, itching and loss of function. Wound healing was accelerated 25-35% in the laser group compared to the control group. Pain relief and functional recovery was significantly improved in the laser group as well.
