In patients with acute low back pain, laser therapy combined with medication therapy was a more effective way to reduce pain and impairment than medication therapy alone, however the evidence for this conclusion is still insufficient.
65 patients were randomly divided into four groups for the current randomized, placebo-controlled investigation. Patients received only pharmacological therapy in group 1 (N = 20) and laser therapy (3 J/cm 2) in group 2 (N = 15) in addition to receiving medication.
- A comparable treatment regimen to that of group 2 was administered to group 3 (N = 15), but the laser dose was 6 J/cm 2. Finally, group 4 (N = 15) received both medication therapy and a placebo laser treatment.
- Using a visual analogue scale and the Oswestry low back pain disability questionnaire, pain levels were compared between the groups. Significant differences were found between baseline pain scores and those from the first, second, third, and fourth weeks of laser therapy in all intervention groups.
Additionally, the outcomes of the intergroup analyses demonstrated a substantial distinction between group 1 and groups 2 and 3. After laser therapy, there was a significant ODI difference between the groups.
