Abstract
For our study of the effect of low energy laser irradiation (LELI) on living tissue we used HeNe laser on rats. The exponential absorption was reaffirmed in the living tissues overlying the sciatic nerve.An optimal range of energy between 3.5 and 7 J—associated with energy concentration of 4–10 J/cm2 delivered transcutaneously—was found to cause a significant increase in action potential in the sciatic nerve. The effect lasted for more than 8 months after the irradiation session.Keywords
