Abstract
The peripheral nervous system is photosensitive providing the scientific rationale for this study, which determines the efficacy and safety of laser light exposure in 30 cases with CTS. Nine joules of energy over five points (7-15 treatments) reversed CTS in 77% of cases with three-fold normalization of CMAP. A photobiologic response was seen in 80% of nerves. This unique and novel approach is cost-effective and will play a role in future management of CTS.Entities:
