Laser acupuncture in musculoskeletal disorders: A systematic review of randomized clinical trials

Research Society and Development (2025)

Ana Beatriz Balão Patrícia Gabrielli Vassão Mirian Bonifácio Homero Garcia-Motta Beatriz Mendes Credidio

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are typically characterized by pain (often persistent) and limitations in mobility, decrease in the level of functioning and reduction in the quality of life and alternative therapeutical interventions have been studied to manage symptomatology such as laser in acupuncture points (LA). The aim of this study is to systematically review the literature of the use of LA in MSDs in pain and functional capacity. PubMed and EMBASE were systematically searched using the following terms: low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and acupuncture and ten randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that used LA in MSDs were selected. All the studies used the near-infrared PBMT irradiation, with an energy per point from 1J to 72J, power from 30 mW to 400 mW, number of sessions from 4 to 24 and application at acupuncture points according to each MSDs. Most studies have shown a significant decrease in pain and symptoms, and an increase of functionality, strength, and mobility after treatment with LA. This review demonstrates that LA produced positive effects in pain and functionality of patients with MSDs, although the evidence does not determine an effective dosage window for LA, the possible range of application adjusted and designed to fit specific musculoskeletal conditions.

Radiofrequency and skin rejuvenation: a systematic review

Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy (2022)

Patrícia Gabrielli Vassão Ana Beatriz Balão Beatriz Mendes Credidio Giovanna Caroline Aparecida do Vale Lívia Assis

Increasingly, there is an attempt to minimize expression lines through esthetic procedures, and radiofrequency (RF) is one of the therapeutic modalities. This article aims to systematically review the literature on the different types of RF treatment in clinical trials and in variables related to the aging process. This systematic review included 21 articles that treated 354 people with different physical characteristics. The most used RF was the fractional followed by the non-ablative RF. There was a large discrepancy in relation to the types and parameters. A parameter that did not show so much divergence was the temperature, which was between 38°C and 44°C. The main temporary adverse reactions reported by the authors were as follows: discomfort, pain, erythema, hyperpigmentation, crusting, swelling, edema, and purple and acneic appearance of the skin. Finally, our study concluded that non-ablative and ablative RF was reported to rejuvenate and improve the features of skin in all skin types.
