Abstract
Use of Laser Technologies in the Treatment and Rehabilitation of Ischemic Stroke in Gerontological Patients
Highlights
The brain is the most vascularized organ - it contains from 3 to 4 thousand capillaries in one cubic centimeter of cerebral tissue, which is significantly higher than that of any other human organs and tissues. This need of cerebral tissue for high capillary blood flow leads to the fact that the slightest disturbances in blood supply cause impaired tissue metabolism, development of hypoxia, death of mitochondria in neurons, ischemia and stroke [1]
One of the most promising areas in the treatment of ischemic cerebral strokes is the use of laser technologies, which currently has two directions: a) laser with low output power, by means of which various types of Photo biomodulation Therapy (PBMT) are carried out
Depending on the localization of exposure, PBMT is subdivided into transcranial PBMT [2,3,4,5], Intranasal PBMT [3,4,5], and transcatheter endocerebral PBMT [6]
Summary
One of the most promising areas in the treatment of ischemic cerebral strokes is the use of laser technologies, which currently has two directions: a) laser with low output power, by means of which various types of Photo biomodulation Therapy (PBMT) are carried out. When carrying out any PBMT methods, the use of these light energy sources does not cause damage to brain tissue [2,3,4,5,6]. Low absorption leads to a sufficiently large depth of penetration of laser energy, which is extremely important when conducting PBMT, as it allows to affect the irradiated surface, and more deeply located tissues.
