Cancer is a genetic disease, and one of the main public health problems. Cancer treatments (chemotherapy and radiotherapy) have some side effects, such as mucositis, which is the inflammation of the oral mucosa, and which generates a series of discomforts, sometimes milder, sometimes more severe. One of the treatments indicated for mucositis is low-level laser therapy, which acts to reduce symptoms. The purpose of this article is to describe four protocols of laser therapy, which were applied at Hospital Santa Rita de Cássia — Vitória, and also to discuss the results that were satisfactory.

Low-level laser therapy as a method for correcting the mucositis caused by ionizing radiation of the oral mucosa is used in clinical practice for various exposure parameters: radiation power not less than 10 mW, laser doses not less than 2 J/cm2. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of low-level laser therapyred and infrared laser radiation for the correction of mucositis of the oral mucosa in patients receiving radiation and chemoradiotherapy for oral and pharyngeal cancer, with laser doses of less than 1 J/cm2. The study included 106 patients who received radiation and chemoradiotherapy for cancer of the oral cavity and pharynx, which were randomly divided into three groups. In the first (37 patients), mucositis was prevented and corrected in accordance with the standards of the clinic, in the second (36 patients) and the third (33 patients), patients were additionally exposed to the oral cavity with Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) at 635 nm and 780 nm at powers of 5 mW and 20 mW, respectively. The effect of LLLT on the wavelength of 635 nm significantly reduced the frequency and severity of mucositis, increased the time until the appearance of the first symptoms of mucositis of the oral mucosa, shortened the duration of severe mucositis (grade 3), and reduced the need for painkillers, including narcotic analgesics compared with the group who received standard prophylaxis and correction of mucositis.

Objective. The objective of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in treating patients who were suffering from long-term complaints of tinnitus with well-understood etiology and who were not responding to conventional therapy in Qatar. Design. This is a prospective clinical study conducted during the period from May 2010 and February 2011. Setting. Audiology Clinic, Outpatient Department, Hamad General Hospital. Subjects and Methods. The study included 65 patients aged 15–76 years with chronic unilateral or bilateral tinnitus with a minimum duration of illness of one year. The investigation included 101 ears of 65 patients. A 5 mW laser with a wavelength of 650 nm was applied transmeatally for 20 minutes once daily for 3 months. The study was based on a face-to-face interview with a designed questionnaire that recorded the diagnosis of patients, clinical evaluation and audiometric test results, and side effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and scored their symptoms loudness on five-point scale every two weeks. A decrease of one scale point regarding the loudness duration and degree of annoyance of tinnitus was accepted to represent an improvement; at the same time, a pure tone audiometric test was carried out and the results recorded. In addition, a record of the side effect was taken. Results. Over half of the patients (56.9%) had some form of improvement in their tinnitus symptoms. Mild improvement was reported in 33.8% of patients, moderate improvement was reported in 16.9%, and full improvement was reported in 6.15%. Of the patients who reported dizzy spells as a symptom of their tinnitus condition, 27.7% reported mild improvement and 16.9% reported full improvement. Common side effects of LLLT were noted among 20% of patients; however, all of them were mild and disappeared within a few days. Conclusion. Low-level laser therapy was found to be useful for treatment of chronic tinnitus.

Background: Oral lichen planus is a chronic idiopathic inflammatory disease that affects the skin and mucous membrane and involves about 1-2% of the population. The management of this pathology aims to control symptoms. Clinically, it can appear as a plaque, in reticular form, or an erythematous/atrophic form. The treatment options include different classes of drugs and non-drug therapies such as a laser. In addition, most drug treatments include numerous side effects. Objective: The aim of this work is to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of a particular type of very Low-Level-Laser Therapy for the management of an erosive oral lichen planus case. Methods: An extensive form of erosive Oral Lichen Planus was treated using a Low-Level Laser Therapy with a 660 nm diode laser. The treatment was performed once per week for two sessions of five minutes each. Different outcome variables were examined: the size of lesions, evolution of pain symptoms, and presence of side effects and stability of the therapeutic results in the follow-up period. Results: After a week, the lesion appeared more homogenous, and the erythematous areas underwent a reduction with a simultaneous decrease in symptoms. After two weeks, the lesion seemed completely healed with the disappearance of pain. The follow-up continued for the other four months, and no relapse was reported. No adverse effects were observed during the study. Conclusion: This study suggests that Low-Level Laser Therapy with very low power parameters could be a safe and successful treatment for extended oral erosive lichen planus lesions.
