Abstract:
Pain control remains an urgent task. If the goal is to achieve permanent pain relief and not temporarily mask the pain (masking the pathology), then that goal can only be achieved by treating the pain with physiotherapeutic methods, the most universal and effective of them is low-level laser therapy intensity (LLLT). Treatment methods vary fundamentally in the case of neuropathic pain (nonspecific, primary), which includes pain with trigger point (PT) and nociceptive (specific, secondary) pain, which includes all types of pain resulting from trauma, inflammation, etc. When treating patients with fibromyalgia (FM), which is a chronic condition with high worldwide prevalence, auxiliary therapies have been indicated for the treatment of fibromyalgia including low-level laser. Currently, the low intensity laser has been attached to a bracelet over the radial artery, in order to irradiate blood cells, using a technique called modified ILIB (Intravascular Laser Irradiation of Blood), with improved control of fibromyalgia, of chronic inflammatory processes. This study evaluated the effectiveness of the modified ILIB in improving the clinical parameters of fibromyalgia used to treat a patient who had chronic pain for 20 years, who received conventional treatment associated with two laser applications using the modified ILIB technique.
