Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory and autoimmune disorder that is characterized by joint inflammation, pain, physical disability, and morning stiffness. In the present study, the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on RA was reviewed. "Low-level laser therapy", "rheumatoid arthritis disease", and "photobiomodulation" keywords were searched in Google Scholar, PubMed, and Medline. A literature survey led to a discussion about the immunology of the RA, laser therapy, mechanism of LLLT action, and anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties of LLLT. It was concluded that LLLT could improve RA patients' quality of life, reduce pain, and enhance physical movement.
类风湿性关节炎(RA)是一种炎症性自身免疫性疾病,其特征为关节炎症、疼痛、身体残疾和晨僵。在本研究中,回顾了低强度激光疗法(LLLT)对类风湿性关节炎的影响。在谷歌学术、PubMed和Medline中搜索了“低强度激光疗法”“类风湿性关节炎疾病”和“光生物调节”等关键词。文献调查引发了关于类风湿性关节炎的免疫学、激光疗法、低强度激光疗法的作用机制以及低强度激光疗法的抗炎和免疫调节特性的讨论。得出的结论是,低强度激光疗法可以改善类风湿性关节炎患者的生活质量,减轻疼痛,并增强身体活动能力。
