Clinical and microbiological effectiveness of therapeutic and rehabilitation measures using a low-intensity laser in the practice of an otorhinolaryngologist

Abstract

The article presents an analysis of the results of using a low-intensity laser in patients with chronic recurrent adenoiditis. Laser therapy was carried out using continuous exposure to red spectrum radiation (wavelength 632 nm, output power from 6 to 8 mW), exposure was performed endonasally for 60 s in each nostril, radiation dose 0.5 J / cm2, the course of treatment consisted of 10 s procedures. It was shown that in the group using laser therapy, the hypertrophy of the pharyngeal tonsil decreased, the number of pathobionts on its surface decreased, and the cellular factors of local antimicrobial defense normalized.
