Association of photobiomodulation therapy and therapeutic exercises in relation to pain intensity and neck disability in individuals with chronic neck pain: a systematic review of randomized trials.

Exercise is often pointed out as an effective form of treatment in the clinical management of chronic neck pain (CNP). However, due to its complex range of causal factors and great diversity of signs and symptoms, other resources such as photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) have been routinely used for the treatment of CNP. The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature on the use of the association of PBMT and therapeutic exercises in relation to pain intensity and neck disability in individuals with CNP.
