There is insufficient evidence to determine whether the fractional CO₂ laser can safely and effectively rejuvenate the vulvar area for women of various ages and races. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The study included 17 patients (mean age = 36.4 years) treated three times by continuous fractional CO₂ laser with an interval of 1 month between each session. The primary outcomes were changes in vulva texture and pigmentation. Treatment was evaluated using images of the patients.

In addition, patients rated their degree of vaginal rejuvenation after the treatment using a scoring system from 0 to 3. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Fractional CO₂ laser treatment effectively and significantly increased vulvar texture and decreased vulvar pigmentation after three sessions (<i>p</i> < 0.05).

Among the crucial criteria of drug addiction, craving stands out as a potent factor contributing to ongoing drug abuse and relapse following period of abstinence. To date, there is no definitive method for eradicating opioid cravings. The introduction of novel neurocognitive interventions, such as cognitive rehabilitation and photobiomodulation (PBM), into the realm of psychiatric treatments holds promise due to the parallels between drug addiction and other psychiatric disorders. These innovative techniques offer potential value in addressing drug addiction. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> This study aimed to assess and compare the efficacy of cognitive rehabilitation and PBM in alleviating drug cravings among individuals undergoing addiction treatment in clinical settings. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> The research used randomized clinical trial as the chosen research method. The statistical population encompassed all clients receiving treatment for addiction at clinics, selected through the convenience sampling method, with α = 0.05 significance level and an effect size of 85%.

Six different treatments were applied to 12 different groups (<i>n</i> = 15) as control (g1/G1), fluoride varnish (g2/G2), casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP)-fluoride varnish (g3/G3), laser (g4/G4), laser+fluoride varnish (g5/G5), and laser+CPP-ACP-fluoride varnish (g6/G6).
