Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA).

Background: Due to increased number of randomized controlled trials evaluating efficiency of HILT in patients with knee OA, there was a need to present them in the form of systematic review.

Methods: The search includes the databases as well as a manual search until August, 2017. The quality of the selected articles was determined in accordance with the revised guidelines of the CONSORT statement.

Results: Six studies were included. Laser fluence ranged from 0.51 to 120 J/cm² for one treatment. The total energy transmitted during one treatment ranged from 1250 to 3000 J. All the selected studies found HILT to be beneficial in treatment of knee OA.

Conclusions: HILT seems to be efficient in reducing pain and for providing functional improvements in patients with knee OA.

高强度激光治疗膝骨关节炎的疗效:首次系统综述。

目的:评价高强度激光治疗膝骨关节炎(OA)的疗效。背景:由于评估膝关节炎患者HILT疗效的随机对照试验越来越多，因此有必要以系统评价的形式对其进行介绍。方法:检索方法包括数据库检索和人工检索，检索截止日期为2017年8月。所选文章的质量是根据CONSORT声明的修订指南确定的。结果:纳入6项研究。一次治疗的激光通量为0.51 ~ 120 J/cm2。一次处理传递的总能量在1250 ~ 3000j之间。所有选定的研究都发现HILT对治疗膝关节OA是有益的。结论:HILT似乎可以有效地减轻膝关节OA患者的疼痛并改善其功能。
