Study Summary: Effects of MLS Laser Therapy on Post-Traumatic Stiff Elbow
A 63-year-old patient with fractures of the distal humerus and olecranon process underwent surgical repair followed by a seven-day rehabilitation protocol combining Multiwave Locked System (MLS) laser therapy and kinesiotherapy.
Key outcomes after one week of treatment included:
Improved Flexion: from 80° to 100°
Reduced Contracture: from 50° to 40°
Decreased Swelling: from 5 cm to 3 cm
Pain Reduction (VAS Score): from 70 mm to 40 mm
Functional Improvement (Mayo Elbow Score): from 24/100 to 63/100
The study highlights the effectiveness of MLS laser therapy and modern physiotherapeutic techniques in accelerating recovery, reducing swelling and pain, and improving elbow joint function after surgery.

Study Summary: Low-Level Laser Therapy for Knee Osteoarthritis
In this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, 27 patients with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis were treated with either active Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) or placebo therapy over 4 weeks.
Key outcomes for the active LLLT group:
Pain Reduction (VAS Score): from 5.75 to 1.18
Improved Joint Flexion: from 105.8° to 122.9°
Reduced Pressure Sensitivity: from 2.33 to 0.77
Better Microcirculation: confirmed by a temperature increase on thermography
In contrast, the placebo group showed no significant improvement in any category. Benefits in the laser group were maintained for at least 2 months post-treatment.
Conclusion:
LLLT significantly reduced pain, improved knee flexibility, and enhanced microcirculation in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Application of MLS Therapy on a Disc Herniation With Radiculopathy
This case study followed a 17-year-old female suffering from severe lumbalgia and radiculopathy due to L4-L5 disc herniation. The patient was treated with MLS® laser therapy over a 7-month period.
Key results:
Initial pain level (VAS): 10/10 → Final pain level: 1/10
50% pain reduction within the first 4 weeks
No pain or neurological deficits at final evaluation
Improved range of motion and full return to daily activities, including school, prom, and exercise
No side effects, with sustained results reported at 90-day follow-up
Conclusion: MLS® laser therapy was highly effective in reducing pain and restoring function in a young patient with disc herniation and nerve root irritation—without drugs or surgery.
