[The effect of low-energy laser radiation in the infrared spectrum on bronchial patency in children with bronchial asthma]. / Vliianie nizkoénergeticheskogo lazernogo izlucheniia infrakrasnogo diapazona na sostoianie bronkhial'noi prokhodimosti u dete, bol'nykh bronkhial'noi astmoi.

Pulsed and continuous-wave low-energy infrared laser radiations were compared for effects on bronchial patency in 139 children with bronchial asthma aged 4-15 years. The pulsed regimen improved patency of the main bronchi in atopic asthma attacks and after them, while continuous-wave regimen improved patency of the peripheral bronchi in bacterial asthma in attack-free period.
