Low-level laser therapy for chronic non-specific low back pain: a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.
CONCLUSIONS: We demonstrated moderate quality of evidence (GRADE) to support a clinically important benefit in LLLT for CNLBP in the short term, which was only seen following higher laser dose interventions and in participants with a shorter duration of back pain. Rigorously blinded trials using appropriate laser dosage would provide greater certainty around this conclusion.
