https://doi.org/10.37895/2071-8004-2021-25-1-36-44
Abstract
Material and methods. Twenty-two patients with compression-ischemic neuropathy were included into the study. Low-level laser device “ALOK-1” was used for laser therapy. Its beam impacts tissues directly; its power is 1 mW, wavelength – 0.63 μm, spot diameter – 0.8 mkm.
Results. Subjective, objective and instrumental findings became significantly better, if to compare with the pre-operative period.
Conclusion. The developed technique has shown its good efficiency. The intraoperative laser therapy CIN patients decreased the severity of symptoms up to their complete regression; patients were highly satisfied with their postoperative outcomes.
