Abstract

Background: The efficacy of laser therapy in trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is not clear. According to clinical and neurophysiological studies, TN is a neuropathic condition that should be considered in treatment strategies. TN refers to pain in the nerve distribution regions including maxillary, mandibular and ophthalmic branches. Different treatment protocols are used in acute and chronic phases of TN.Methods: The English literature published in PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Google Scholar, Springer, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science from 2000 until January 2017 was reviewed. All searches were based on main key word: low-level laser, High power laser, laser therapy, Low-level light therapy and TN.Results: Of 34 studies, 7 met the inclusion criteria. Five of the 7 studies achieved a high-quality PEDro score (³8). Two papers were clinical case researches. The pooled effect size for pain variable was –.7, indicating a large effect of pain relief. In addition, a dose of 6 J/cm2 and treatments with 830 nm wavelength pulsed GaAlAs lasers can cause large pain relief effects. There is no consensus on sites of laser treatment but trigger points and path of nerve radiations were the most common effective sites. The usual time of laser therapy was about 15 minutes. Both low level and high power lasers were effective in relieving pain in TN.Conclusion: There are few studies about the effects of laser therapy in TN. Although many of them showed improvements in symptoms, the intervention protocols were controversial and inconsistent. Long-term effects of laser therapy did not show in any of these studies. The short-term effects of laser therapy in TN are significant. Nevertheless, the exact protocol of laser treatment is still unknown and the roles of dosage and power and site of treatments need more investigations.
