Abstract

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of irradiation of the lumbar sympathetic ganglia by linear polarized light for the lower-limb neuropathie pain.Methods The lumbar sympathetic ganglia was irradiated by super liar therapeutic equipment focused on L_2 as the center,once a day,20 min each time for 30 days.Skin temperature on the lower limb,VAS score and pain threshold were evaluated.Results Compared to before,the skin temperature increased (P<0.01),VAS decreased (P<0.01),and pain threshold incresed(P<0.01).Conclusion The super lizer irradiation has a good therapeutic effect on lower extremity neuropathic pain
