Effectiveness of low-power laser therapy in improvement of the peripheral neuropathy induced by xenobiotics in rats.

Background: Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is the damage and dysfunction of neurons of the peripheral nervous system. The present study was conducted to estimate the effectiveness of low-power laser therapy (LPLT) in the management of PN in a rats' model.

Methods: PN was induced by giving dichloroacetate (DCA) (250 mg/kg/day) for up to 12 weeks.
