Effect of pulsed high intensity laser therapy on delayed caesarean section healing in diabetic women.

[Purpose] The objective of this study was to determine the effect of pulsed high intensity laser therapy on delayed caesarean section healing in diabetic women. [Subjects and Methods] This study was conducted on forty diabetic women with delayed caesarean wound healing, ranging in age from 28 to 38 years. They were randomly assigned into two groups; the group I (n=20) received pulsed high intensity laser therapy for 6-weeks, 3 times per week plus standard medical treatment for treatment of diabetes and caesarean wound patients, the group II (n=20) received sham laser treatment for 6 weeks, 3 times per week plus standard medical treatment for treatment of diabetes and caesarean wound patients.

Effect of Pulsed High-Intensity Laser Therapy on Pain, Adhesions, and Quality of Life in Women Having Endometriosis: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of pulsed high-intensity laser therapy on pain, adhesions, and quality of life in women with endometriosis.

Background Data: Endometriosis is among the most common gynecological problems affecting females of childbearing age. The majority of women with endometriosis seek treatment to alleviate pain.

High-intensity laser therapy versus pulsed electromagnetic field in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea.

[Purpose] To determine the efficacy of high intensity laser therapy (HILT) versus pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea. [Subjects and Methods] This was a randomized clinical trial that included 52 girls diagnosed with primary dysmenorrhea and who were assigned randomly into two groups of equal numbers. The treatment was three sessions every cycle for three consecutive cycles where group (A) included those participants treated with HILT 15 min/session and group (B) those who were treated with PEMF 30 min/session.

The impact of closed versus open kinetic chain exercises on osteoporotic femur neck and risk of fall in postmenopausal women.

[Purpose] This study aimed to investigate how closed and open kinetic chain exercises differed in their impact on bone mineral density (BMD) and fall risk in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. [Subjects and Methods] The research sample consisted of 40 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis with ages between 51 and 58 years old. They were divided at random into two groups of 20 each, respectively receiving closed and open kinetic chain exercises.
