Antinociceptive Effect Of Linear Polarized 0.6 To 1.6 ?m Irr

Linear polarized near-infrared light has been used to treat various painful disorders. We examinedthe effects of irradiation applied to an area near the lumbar sympathetic ganglia on the ligated side in a chronic constriction injury model in rats, which is believed to be an animal model of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS).

We believe the results of this study are relevant to the effect of irradiation for patients with upper-limb CRPS: that irradiation near the lumbar sympathetic ganglia of the rat is effective for thermal, but not mechanical, pain.
