Abstract:- Peripheral neuropathies have been described in patients with primary and secondary diabetes of diverse causes suggesting a common etiologic mechanism based on chronic hyperglycemia. The extensive review of literature reveals that there is paucity of studies on scope of management for this particular complication, this urges to do a study on this problem with low level laser irradiation which is recognized worldwide for its tissue healing properties. The Effect of various dosages of low level Laser Therapy in Experimental Diabetic Neuropathy was evaluated with 42 Healthy adult male albino wistar rats. The animals were induced with Alloxan intraperitonealy and blood glucose status was examined with Glucometer. Diabetic neuropathy status was measured with EMG-NCV for MNCV. The rats were than divided into 7 groups and irradiated with laser dosages ranging from 3j/cm2 to 8j/cm2 and one group was kept as control. On analyzing pre and post MNCV values, dosages of 3-4j/ cm2 showed extremely significant p values 5-6j/cm2 showed satisfactorily significant results and 7-8j/cm2 and control groups did not show any significant effect. This MNCV results are important finding of the study that the calculation of correct dosage of laser is very important, like higher dosage can have photo bio-inhibitory effect.
Key Words:- Low Level Laser Irradiation, Diabetic Neuropathy, Motor Nerve Conduction Velocity |
