44. “ has been used in Eastern Europe and Asia for the treatment of a wide range of conditions for many years. Its continued acceptance in these populations reflects the efficacy with which it is regarded both by clinicians and their patients. Although there have been a substantial number of reports on its clinical benefit and some practitioners have used the technique in North America and Australasia it has yet to be subjected to detailed assessment through randomised clinical trials . The purpose of this review is to stimulate interest in the technique and to encourage rigorous research into its potential value.” Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) T Moshkovska and J Mayberry Leicester General Hospital, Leicester, UK Postgraduate Medical Journal 2005; 81 :436-441
45. Among the 100 selected for evaluation in this review, only 28 could be found on Medline. Many studies have been published in regional or national publications, which are not indexed on Medline or similar databases. The main reasons for this restricted publication include language barriers and lack of availability of professional journals because of financial constraints .

46. Most reports are in Russian and the basis for clinical research and practice was first established in Moscow in 1986. The Institute of Laser Medicine was formed through a union of 14 laser centres from different parts of Russia . LLLT emerged as a potential therapeutic modality because of the conversion of military production into areas of commercial practice including medicine. The largest complex of laser research was founded in the closed city of Kaluga and in 1995 this was opened by order of the Russian government.

47. As a result clinicians in Russia and Ukraine now have access to a wide variety of invasive and non-invasive lasers and there are numerous specialised laser centres throughout these countries. A wide range of laser applications have been used to treat large numbers of patients and in recent times up to 1.5 million patients have been treated annually . T Moshkovska and J Mayberry Leicester General Hospital, Leicester, UK Postgraduate Medical Journal 2005; 81 :436-441
48. The reasons behind the widespread application of LLLT in Russia and Ukraine are evident. Today medicine is dominated by expensive pharmaceuticals and advanced technologies. The ever-growing emergence of resistant bacteria and patient sensitivity to drugs should encourage a search for new therapeutic modalities. Laser irradiation shows particular hope in this area with virtually no contraindications , and limited side effects .

49. Ohshiro and Calderhead believe low intensity laser irradiation may work through effects on the central nervous system. They have suggested this occurs through tissue photobioactivation , in which the energy levels of biological structures are changed through light quantum absorption. Human tissue absorbs light energy and this stimulates and modifies metabolic processes. It results in reorganisation of protein polymers . In particular, it changes the structural and functional properties of cell membranes as well as fermentation processes . In this way it has some similarities to the action of sunlight in plant photosynthesis .

50. Intravenous laser blood irradiation was developed experimentally by the Russian researchers, Meshalkin and Sergievskiy , and introduced into clinical practice in 1981 . Originally the method was applied in the treatment of cardiovascular abnormalities.
