ABSTRACT
Objective: The purpose of this short communication is to show that although photobiomodulation in the treatment of neurophathic oral pain after COVID-19 contagion could be an option, photobiomodulation is not a new technique. PBMT was used with different protocols and pain was assessed using VAS (visual analogue scale-0 until 10) before and after the consultation. Results: Evolution of VAS during the sessions showed a decrease in painful symptomatology as treatment was performed. Conclusion: Based on the results obtained in the present case report, we concluded that PBMT with the parameters used in this clinical case was an effective, noninvasive and a new option of treatment for neuralgia resulting from COVID-19. © 2021, Universidade Estadual Paulista, Institute of Science and Technology of Sao Jose dos Campos.
