The objective of this review was to analyze original articles about the effects of therapy with LED in experimental models of calcaneal tendon lesions of rats. The search was performed in the period from February to May 2018, in the following electronic databases: MEDLINE, SciELO, and LILACS, besides the Google Scholar, using the descriptors "Achilles tendon", "Rats", "LED", "Tendinopathy", and "Low-level Light Therapy", as well as their matching parts in the Portuguese and Spanish languages, related to and in association with the relevant terms to the content sought. From the descriptors used 215 works were found. After application of eligibility criteria 8 works were selected, in which positive results were found after the application of the LED. Regarding the main results found with phototherapy, we observed a significant reduction in inflammation. Only one article mentioned little reduction of inflammation. In relation to the number of sessions, there was wide variation, with an average of approximately 5 sessions every 24 hours. Studies in this review pointed out, therefore, positive results in the repair of the calcaneal tendon after therapy with irradiation LED; however, carrying out more experimental studies that help the standardization of parameters to be used in this therapy for further clinical studies becomes necessary.
本综述的目的是分析关于LED治疗对大鼠跟腱损伤实验模型影响的原创文章。检索于2018年2月至5月期间进行，除谷歌学术外，还在以下电子数据库中进行：MEDLINE、SciELO和LILACS，使用描述词“跟腱”“大鼠”“LED”“肌腱病”和“低强度光疗法”，以及它们在葡萄牙语和西班牙语中的对应部分，与所寻求内容的相关术语相关联。从所使用的描述词中找到215篇作品。应用纳入标准后，选择了8篇作品，其中应用LED后发现了阳性结果。关于光疗的主要结果，我们观察到炎症明显减轻。只有一篇文章提到炎症减轻程度较小。关于治疗次数，差异很大，平均每24小时约5次。因此，本综述中的研究指出，LED照射治疗后跟腱修复有阳性结果；然而，有必要开展更多实验研究，以帮助规范该疗法中使用的参数，以便进行进一步的临床研究。
