Our hospital has used LLLT in the treatment of athletes since 1990. We had a good result about LLLT for sports injuries. However, few articles have attempted to evaluate the efficacy of LLLT for sports injuries. The aims of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of LLLT for sports injuries. Materials (Subjects) and Methods: Forty one patients underwent LLLT in our hospital. These patients included 22 men and 19 women with an average age of 38.9 years old. Patients were irradiated by diode laser at points of pain and/or acupuncture points. Patients underwent LLLT a maximum treatment of 10 times (mean 4.1 times). We evaluated the efficacy of LLLT using a Pain relief score (PRS). A score of 2 to 5 after treatment was regarded as very good, 6 to 8 as good, and 9 to 10 as poor. A PRS score of less than 5 was regarded as effective.
The rate of effectiveness (PRS of 5 or less) after LLLT was 65.9% (27/41 patients).
In this study, the resulting rate of effectiveness was 65.9% for all sports injuries. However, we have a high rate of effectiveness for Jumper's knee, tennis elbow and Achilles tendinitis and cases that were irradiated laser by a physician.
LLLT is an effective treatment for sports injuries, particularly jumper's knee, tennis elbow and Achilles tendinitis.
自1990年以来，我院一直使用低强度激光疗法（LLLT）治疗运动员。我们在治疗运动损伤方面取得了良好的LLLT效果。然而，很少有文章尝试评估LLLT对运动损伤的疗效。本研究的目的是评估LLLT对运动损伤的疗效。材料（受试者）与方法：41例患者在我院接受了LLLT治疗。这些患者包括22名男性和19名女性，平均年龄为38.9岁。患者在疼痛点和/或穴位接受二极管激光照射。患者接受LLLT治疗最多10次（平均4.1次）。我们使用疼痛缓解评分（PRS）评估LLLT的疗效。治疗后评分为2至5分被视为非常好，6至8分为好，9至10分为差。PRS评分小于5分被视为有效。
LLLT治疗后的有效率（PRS为5分或更低）为65.9%（41例患者中的27例）。
在本研究中，所有运动损伤的有效率为65.9%。然而，对于髌腱炎、网球肘和跟腱炎以及由医生进行激光照射的病例，我们有较高 的有效率。
LLLT是治疗运动损伤的有效方法，尤其是髌腱炎、网球肘和跟腱炎。
