The treatment of craniofacial pain by
electroacupuncture and laser irradiation.
Cranio facial neuralgias represent an interesting
medical challenge, especially regarding the complex therapeutical
aspects. Our study was performed treating more than 700
patients, applying steel inox needles variable in diameters
and length for about 20 minutes, with a total application
number ranging between 10 and 20. Results have been defined
referring to a 4-grades response scale: excellent, good,
fairly good and insufficient. It is important to emphasise
that the best results have been achieved with patients who
chose the acupuncture as the first therapeutic approach,
while patients who underwent other previous medical and/or
surgical treatment have had a worse response. The authors
assert that acupuncture and infrared laser reflex therapy
represent a harmless and effective treatment of such a diffuse
and invalidating disease.
