Experimental study of effect of low power laser irradiation on wound healing by difference of irradiation method (II) / 全日本鍼灸学会雑誌

The author had reported that laser irradiation with energy density 4J/cm² at every other days was most effective for wound healing.<br>But there is a report which described that laser irradiation with energy density under 4J/cm² was effective for wound healing too.<br>Then, the effect of irradiation with under 4J/cm² He-Ne laser on wound healing was studied. Twenty-four wister rats were subjected to this experiment.<br>A open wound, 20mm in diameter as deep as muscle layer were made on the back of anesthetized animals.<br>To find the suitable energy density of laser irradiation, the wound was irradiated with He-Ne laser by energy density of 4J/cm², 2J/cm² and 1J/cm2 every other day until the wound completely healed.<br>The wound healing was much more accelerated by irradiation with energy density of 4J/cm² than the other group.<br>This result suggested that laser irradiation with energy density 4J/cm² at every other days is most effective for wound healing.

The effect of irradiation with low power He-Ne laser on wound healing was studied. 42 wister rats were subjected to this experiment.<br>A open wound, 20mm in diameter as deep as muscle layer were made on the back of anesthetized animals.<br>To find the suitable energy density of laser irradiation, the wound was irradiated with He-Ne laser by energy density of 4J/cm² or 10J/cm² every other day until the wound completely healed. The wound healing was much more accelerated by irradiation with energy density of 4J/cm² than that of 10J/cm² and none-irradiated contorol group.<br>To find the suitable interval of laser irradiation, the wound was irradiated every other days, every 4 days or every other days in early stage until the wound completely healed. From this study, the wound healing was much more acceralated by irradiation at every other days than the others.<br>This result suggested that laser irradiation with energy density 4J/cm² at every other days is most effective for wound healing.
