“…1 Acute or chronic pain, tinnitus, loss of mandibular function, and finally degeneration of tissues are the main signs and symptoms related to TMDs. [2][3][4] These issues can be more problematic for patients, influencing quality of life and mental health, 5 through sleep problems, 6 increased anxiety and stress, and even causing depression. 7 The prevalence of TMDs is different between countries (ranges between 21.5% and 50.5%) and genders (more common among males).…”

Objective: This systematic review aimed to comprehensively review all available documents regarding photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) application in temporomandibular disorder (TMD) patients and to suggest an evidence-based protocol for therapeutic PBM administration for these patients. Background data: The existence of temporomandibular joint and/or pain and dysfunction in masticatory muscles is characterized in TMDs. PBMT is, due to its impact on biological processes, especially inflammation, considered as an adjuvant treatment modality in TMD cases. Materials and methods: All original articles related to PBMT for TMDs in EMBASE, MEDLINE (NCBI PubMed and PMC), Cochrane library, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar were reviewed until December 2018. Results: The energy density ranging from 0.75 to 112.5 J/cm 2 with 0.9-500 mW power was found to be a window protocol for light application. The best results for pain relief and mandibular movement enhancement were reported after application of GaAlAs diode laser, 800-900 nm, 100-500 mW, and <10 J/cm 2 , twice a week for 30 days on trigger points. The session of light applications varied from 1 to 20. Conclusions: Although most articles showed that PBMT is effective in reducing pain and contributed to functional enhancement in TMD patients, the heterogenic parameters that have been reported in various studies made the standardization of PBMT complicated. However, such evidence-based consensus can be beneficial for both future research and for clinical applications.

This was a case report which described the background, method, and test results of the effect of 3 wavelength lasers transmeatal irradiation treatment on motion sickness, using combined lasers with an output of 2.5 mW @ 532 nm + 10.0 mW @ 808 nm + 2.0 mW @ 1064 nm for transmeatal irradiation treatment. 10 patients aged 50 ± 25 were treated with MWLLLTI at a dose of 104 Joule in total for both ears per day for 15 consecutive days. It was found that MWLLLTI stimulation was effective in motion sickness treatment.

The use of Low Level Laser in individuals with tinnitus and without hearing loss Introduction: Among the most common complaints within otorhinolaryngology and audiology clinics, tinnitus stands out as one of the most uncomfortable for the subject. There are several modalities for the treatment of tinnitus, with emphasis on pharmaceutical therapy, physiotherapy, psychotherapy, surgery, and among the possibilities of intervention, there is growing significance in the use of low level laser. Nevertheless, despite many articles in the international literature about this theme, there are several disagreements regarding the protocol of application and the efficacy of this treatment. Proposition: To verify the effect of laser therapy in individuals with chronic tinnitus symptom without hearing loss. Methods: The study was developed at the Centro Auditivo Ouvir-Bauru, with the acceptance of the Research Ethics Committee and patient acquiescence confirmed by signing the Informed Consent Term. Patients who suited the inclusion criteria were randomly set to Group 1: treated with low level laser and Group 2: treated with placebo laser. Anamnesis was applied with the individuals before the battery of tests and the data collected were registered in the individual's folder. after the interview, the audiological exams started, which included: tonal audiometry, high frequency audiometry, immittanciometry and acufenometry for hearing loss disposal, Tinnitus Handicap Inventory to measure the level of discomfort with tinnitus pre and post treatment and visual analogue scale to measure the level of discomfort with tinnitus pre and post laser application. The Laser Therapy protocol included 12 laser therapy sessions for Group 1 and placebo laser for Group 2, using 4J in the lingual vein in the red wavelength, 4J in the right and left tympanic membrane, in the red wavelength, and 9J in the right and left mastoid, at the infra-red wavelength. Results: the sample consisted of 20 patients, eight females and 12 males with the average of 54 yearsold. There was no statistical difference in function of the intervention group and the moment of evaluation for the high frequency audiometry and acuphenometry outcomes. The disadvantage of individuals with chronic tinnitus reduced significantly after the intervention, regardless of the intervention. It can be verified that the annoyance of individuals with chronic tinnitus decreased significantly with difference between the initial and final sessions, independently of the intervention group, but Group 1 presented a greater reduction than Group 2, independently of the moment of evaluation and the number of the session. Conclusion: It was concluded that individuals with chronic tinnitus reduced the disadvantage independently of the intervention group, and the level of discontentment with tinnitus in the initial sessions according to the final ones independently of the moment of evaluation and the intervention group. The group receiving laser therapy further improved the level of tinnitus dissatisfact...
