Paper Abstract
The neural regeneration and functional recovery after nerve injuries has long been an important field in neuroscience.
Low intensity laser (LIL) irradiation is a novel and useful tool for the treatment of many injuries and disorders. The aim
of this study was to assess the role of LIL irradiation in the treatment of peripheral and central nerve injuries. Some
animal experiments and clinical investigations have shown beneficial effects of LIL irradiation on neural tissues, but its
therapeutic value and efficacy are controversial. Reviewing the data of experimental and clinical studies by using the
biological information model of photobiomodulation, we conclude that LIL irradiation in specific parameters can
promote the regeneration of injured peripheral and central nerves and LIL therapy is a safe and valuable treatment for
superficial peripheral nerve injuries and spinal cord injury. The biological effects of LIL treatment depend largely on
laser wavelength, power and dose per site and effective irradiation doses are location-specific.
