Efficacy Of Low-Intensity Laser Therapy on Pain In Trigeminal Neuralgia – A Literature Review
Year: 2025
Type: review
Abstract: Background: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) causes severe facial pain, often triggered by touch or chewing, due to nerve compression. Traditional treatments, like anticonvulsants and surgery, may have side effects and limited effectiveness. Low-intensity laser therapy (LILT) is being explored as an alternative, showing promise in pain reduction and nerve healing. This review evaluates LILT's efficacy in managing TN. Methodology: A comprehensive literature study was done using the specified search criteria. To carry out a literature review, the search phrases "efficacy of low-intensity laser therapy in trigeminal neuralgia" were employed between the years 2014 and 2024. We have discovered 10 publications with complete text and methodologies for additional examination from diverse academic journals. Results: We discovered 10 publications that included a low intensity laser therapy for all individuals. All articles designed for low intensity laser therapy patients showed benefits in all intervention groups. Conclusion: The review included 10 studies that utilized distinct low-intensity laser therapy protocols across various patient populations. All included articles reported positive outcomes, indicating the effectiveness of low-intensity laser therapy across different intervention groups
