[Reaction of the peripheral nervous system elements to the action of laser irradiation].

The effect of light of the helium neon laser LG-75 with the output power 25mvt and the generated wave length 6328 A upon reparative processes in the neuromuscular apparatus was studied in rats in dynamics after neurotomy of the ischiatic nerve. Neurohistological (staining after Bielschowski-Gross, Spielmeier, Weigert-Pal) and electrophysiological (chronaximetry, "force-duration" index, electromyography) methods were used. The material was processed in a computer. A stimulating effect of the applied low-energy laser radiation on the regeneration of the ischiatic nerve was established.
