O efeito do laser em pontos de acupuntura para o tratamento da dor: revisão sistemática

Abstract

One of the main reasons that lead the individual to seek professional health care is pain. Most pathological processes lead the individual to painful sensations. Among the imbalances; one of the main causes of the search for a therapy is pain, and among the several therapeutic proposals sought for its relief, studies show that acupuncture occupies a place of great relevance. There are numerous techniques for the activation of acupoints, such as, seeds, digit pressure, electro acupuncture, beads. The laser for acupuncture points activation is a fairly recent practice, and still not widespread by the TCM supporters, especially those who have not yet had the opportunity to train in this technique; so this systematic review aims to identify in the literature if there are well defined parameters for the use of the laser and if the technique is effective in the treatment of pain from various origins.
