O tratamento da dor lombar é um desafio para profissionais da área da saúde. Sua alta prevalência determina custos elevados ao sistema de saúde. É prioritária a busca por modalidades de tratamento eficazes em melhoria de dor e incapacidade funcional associada. A evidência sobre diversos tratamentos conservadores de dor lombar, aguda ou crônica, vem crescendo nos últimos anos, sem possibilitar, no entanto, afirmações definitivas sobre reais efeitos da maioria das intervenções, bem como de possível superioridade de uma sobre a outra. Há razoável evidência contemporânea de benefício com tratamento medicamentoso, intervenções fisioterapêuticas, exercício e abordagem biopsicossocial da dor lombar. Medicamentos são utilizados como sintomáticos, a maior eficácia de curto prazo sendo obtida com AINEs e relaxantes musculares em dor aguda e com opioides e anticonvulsivantes (sobre componente neuropático) em dor crônica. Dentre as medidas não medicamentosas, mostram-se razoavelmente eficazes: manutenção da atividade, exercícios, terapia manual, laserterapia de baixa potência (dor com radiculopatia), acupuntura (dor lombar crônica), educação, programa de reabilitação multidisciplinar biopsicossocial e terapia cognitivo-comportamental.

“…Among them, one of the resources that have been used to promote a functional improvement is the low-level laser (LLL), 8,9 as it acts on the fibroblastic proliferation and the Schwann cells, which secrete neurotrophic factor for the nerve regeneration under a painkiller effect, as well as the release of anti-inflammatory cytokines. 10 Its anti-inflammatory effect happens through the decrease of interleukins 6 and 1, tumoral necrosis factor, prostaglandins, and metalloproteinases.…”

“…10 Its anti-inflammatory effect happens through the decrease of interleukins 6 and 1, tumoral necrosis factor, prostaglandins, and metalloproteinases. 9 There are, however, no available papers on the effect of the LLL on the peripheral nerve regeneration under the presence of PD. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of the LLL under the systemic inflammatory condition of the PD on the SFI parameters, morphology, and oxidative stress.…”

Low-Level Laser Effect on Peripheral Sciatic Regeneration Under the Systemic Inflammatory Condition of Periodontal Disease

et al. 2020

Introduction: Periodontal disease (PD) is an inflammatory condition, which leads to tooth loss and promotes a systemic inflammatory state that can aggravate the nerve degeneration. As laser therapy may stimulate regeneration, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of the low-level laser (LLL) on peripheral nerve regeneration under the systemic inflammatory condition of PD. Methods: Thirry-two male rats were used, distributed in 4 groups: nerve injury (NIG); periodontal disease with nerve injury (PDNI); nerve injury and treatment (TNIG); periodontal disease with nerve injury and treatment (PDNIT). On the 7th day of the experiment, the animals had ligatures placed around the lower first molars. On the 22nd day, they underwent peripheral nerve damage, and on the 25th day, the LLL treatment was initiated, performed for two weeks. The sciatic functional index (SFI) was evaluated with subsequent euthanasia of all the animals on the 37th day of the experiment. The sciatic nerve was collected for morphological and oxidative stress analysis and the hemi jaws for radiographic analysis. Results: Regarding the SFI, there was no difference among the groups in the first evaluation (EV) pre-injury; as for theEV2, after injury, all the groups presented a decrease in these values, which remained in post-treatment. For the morphology of the PDNI, nerve tissue presented larger diameter fibers, whereas, for NIT and PDNIT, fibers had smaller diameters with endoneurial organization. When it comes to the antioxidant system, there was an increase in protein concentration, higher superoxide activity, and decreased glutathione transferase activity in the treated groups. Catalase and cholinesterase did not differ between the groups, and lipoperoxidation (LPO) increased in the PD groups. For the mandible radiographic analysis, it was possible to verify the induction of PD. Conclusion: As for the used parameters, the low-level laser was not effective in increasing the nociceptive threshold, but it contributed to the regeneration of nerve fibers, although the inflammation was still present in the site. However, the treatment was effective in protecting cells against oxidative damage due to increased SOD and increased protein, although the decrease in GST demonstrates the inhibition of this stage of the antioxidant system.
