Abstract

Background: The physical therapy resources, as Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) and neural mobilization are usually used with regenerative purpose and for the relief of symptoms for peripheral nerve injury. However, there is a lack of consensus on its effects as well as its association. Objective: Evaluate the influence of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) associated with neural mobilization (NM) on nerve regeneration of female Wistar rats subjected to sciatic compression. Methods: Twenty four Wistar rats were divided into: G1 (Placebo), G2 (NM), G3 (LLLT) and G4 (NM+LLLT), all animals were subject to compression of the right sciatic nerve. The treatment occurred on the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th, 12th and 14th postoperative day (PO). On the 17th PO the animals were euthanized. Histological and morphometric analysis of the right (compression) and the left (control) sciatic nerve were performed.Results: In the morphometric analysis no significant differences between groups, but differences among sides were found. Histological analysis revealed the presence of inflammatory infiltrate and disruption of nerve fibers in the right sciatic nerves.Conclusion: Both techniques used (LLLT and neural mobilization), isolated and associated, on the parameters proposed, were not effective to accelerate the process of nerve regeneration.

Abstract

Background: Photobiomodulation plays an important role in modulating the inflammatory process, accelerating tissue repair, which can be beneficial in cases such as multiple sclerosis. Objective: To carry out a literature review about effectiveness of photobiomodulation on muscle strength and fatigue in multiple sclerosis. Methods: The databases included were PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, Web of Science, Scopus and LILACS (Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature). Also the gray literature: Google Scholar, LIVIVO (ZB MED Search Portal for Life Sciences), Open Grey and Library of Thesis and Dissertations CAPES (Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior). The risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane tool, Rob 2, and the data was extracted and assessed by blinded reviewers. Results: Initially 7302 records were found, 7102 in the main databases and 200 in the gray literature.  After removing duplicates, 4217 studies were left for Phase 1 and 10 for Phase 2. Finally, 3 randomized clinical trials were included in this review. Conclusion: The studies included risk of bias in this review was predominantly low. PBM proved to be effective in improving muscle strength, but not fatigue. However, the number of human clinical trials is still too few for a more conclusive analysis.
