Tendons have as main function transmit forces from the muscle to the bones. Tendinopathy is an inflammatory process that occurs in and around the tendon, when these are affected by some injury. Low level laser therapy consists in a local application of a monochromatic, coherent and short wavelength light. Its use began in 60's and since then several benefits for tendon injuries have been reported. The objective of this study is to collect the most recent studies about the use of laser on the tendinopathy treatment. We performed searches on the following electronic databases PubMed, Medline, CAPES journals portal and LILACS. After the analysis, we selected three articles that showed that the use of low-level laser therapy, compared to placebo, is effective in treatment of tendinopathy. Despite the need for more studies about this theme, the low-level laser therapy demonstrates consistent results in the treatment of tendinopathy.
肌腱的主要功能是将肌肉产生的力量传递至骨骼。肌腱病是一种发生于肌腱及其周围的炎症过程，当肌腱受到某种损伤时就会出现。低强度激光疗法是将单色、相干且波长较短的光局部照射于患处。该疗法始于20世纪60年代，自那时起，已有多项关于其对肌腱损伤有益效果的报道。本研究的目的是收集有关激光用于治疗肌腱病的最新研究。我们在以下电子数据库进行了检索：PubMed、Medline、CAPES期刊门户和LILACS。经过分析，我们筛选出三篇文章，这些文章表明与安慰剂相比，低强度激光疗法在治疗肌腱病方面是有效的。尽管关于这一主题仍需要更多研究，但低强度激光疗法在治疗肌腱病方面已显示出一致的效果。
