Low-level laser therapy improves pain in postcesarean section: a randomized clinical trial.

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on immediate postpartum pain relief during cesarean section. A randomized, parallel controlled trial was carried out. In total, 88 women with immediate postpartum were divided into 4 groups: control group (n = 22), placebo group (n = 22), experimental group I (n = 22, dose of 4 J/cm), and experimental group II (n = 22, dose of 2 J/cm).
