Laser therapy for neuropathic pain and neuroinflammatory skin disorders: A comprehensive overview

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Laser therapy has emerged as a promising modality for managing neuropathic pain and neuroinflammatory skin disorders. Its efficacy is attributed to its ability to modulate neuroimmune mechanisms, enhance microcirculation, and promote tissue repair. This review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of laser therapy applications in conditions such as postherpetic neuralgia, diabetic neuropathy, complex regional pain syndrome, small fiber neuropathy, and inflammatory dermatoses with a neurogenic component, including atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. The paper includes an overview of mechanisms, laser types, clinical evidence, and treatment protocols, with a critical appraisal of existing literature.
