Background: The aim of this work was to systematically review the influence of low level laser therapy and manual exercises used on the patients with shoulder impingement syndrome. Methods: Systematic review of all published studies with all research designs except expert opinions. A search was made in Pubmed, Medline, Cochrane library, PEDro and Google scholar; from the earliest date to September 2019. Intervention: Low level laser therapy and manual exercises programs performed by the physical therapist. Results: Only 4 studies met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis could be done and findings are presented qualitatively due to heterogeneity of the studies. There is no conflicting evidence on whether low level laser therapy and manual exercises can increase the range of movement and decrease pain, for those studies showing improvements in the range of movements. Conclusion: The current level of evidence support the effectiveness of low level laser therapy and manual exercises in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome remains.

Objective: To investigate the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) combined with exercise on shoulder pain and disability in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS). Design: Randomised controlled trial. Setting: Pontifical Catholic University. Subjects: We enrolled 120 subacromial impingement syndrome patients Intervention: Groups I ( n = 42), II ( n = 42) and III ( n = 36) were treated with Low-level laser therapy and exercise, exercise only and Low-level laser therapy only, respectively. Interventions were conducted three times a week for 8 weeks. Main outcome measures: The primary outcome was the change in shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI). Secondary outcomes included changes in the numeric pain rating scale and medication intake. Results: Average ages of patients in groups I, II and III were 51.9 ± 8.7 years, 56.0 ± 10.4 years and 54.2 ± 7.1 years, respectively. Pain scores at baseline ( P = 0.829), 2 months ( P = 0.057) and 3 months follow-ups ( p = 0.004) were 6.8 (4.7–7.7), 0.2 (0.0–0.5) and 0.3 (0.0–1.0) for group I; 6.6 (5.7–8.0), 0.5 (0.2–2.0) and 0.2 (0.0–3.3) for group II; and 6.5 (5.1–7.4), 2.4 (0.1–6.7) and 4.0 (2.0–5.0) for group III, respectively. SPADI scores at baseline ( P = 0.029), 2 months ( P < 0.001) and 3 months follow-ups ( P = 0.001) were 60.8 (37.7–70.8), 3.8 (0.0–10.8) and 2.3 (0.8–10.8) for group I; 61.5 (41.5–71.5), 9.2 (3.8–29.2) and 14.2 (1.5–38.0) for the group II; and 73.3 (59.2–80.8), 34.2 (16.9–54.6) and 33.1 (22.3–49.2) for the group III, respectively. Conclusion: Low-level laser therapy combined with exercises reduce pain intensity, improve shoulder function and reduces pain intensity and medication intake over 3 months.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) improves the healing of the implant surgical site with clinical and biochemical parameters.Thirty patients with an edentulous space spanning a single tooth were selected. The patients were randomly allocated to two groups - the control group and the test group. The test group received laser energy at a power of 2J/cm 2 with a total of 4-6J energy over each implant. Clinical parameters (Implant Stability Quotient, probing index, modified sulcus bleeding index)and osteoprotegerin (OPG) were assessed at baseline and follow-up intervals (2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 3 months).The test group showed significantly higher implant stability quotient compared to thecontrol group at 2 weeks(57.93±3.95 and 35.67±3.08; p&lt;0.01) and 3months(58.86±3.75 and 67.06±3.78; p&lt;0.01). A significant rise in OPG levels of the test group(686.30±125.36pg/ml at baseline and 784.25±108.30pg/ml at 3months;p&lt;0.01) was seen contrary to significant decline in the control group (839.50±249.08pg/ml at baseline,415.30±78.39pg/ml at 3months;p&lt;0.01). Within the limitations of the study, the study suggests that the healing of peri-implant hard and soft tissues may be enhanced with the use of LLLT as an explicit modality during the post-operative period.
