肌筋膜疼痛综合征是一种以慢性疼痛为特征的常见疾病, 其发病率高、发病人群广、严重影响劳动效率, 临床上常采用物理疗法进行治疗。弱激光疗法作为常用物理治疗方法之一, 具有消炎、镇痛、消肿等作用, 近年来已成为肌筋膜疼痛综合征临床研究领域的新热点。综述了弱激光照射治疗肌筋膜疼痛综合征的基础研究、激光参数设置、疗效评价手段等方面的最新进展, 旨在为优化弱激光的作用机制研究、改进临床治疗方法、提高临床疗效提供依据。

Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a common syndrome characterized by chronic pain with high incidence and wide range of patients, which seriously affects the labor efficiency. Physical therapy is often used in clinical treatment for MPS. Low level laser therapy, one of the common physical therapies, has the effect of anti-inflammation, relieving pain and eliminating swelling. In recent years, it has become a new hot field of clinical research on MPS. We reviewed the basic research, laser parameters, and outcome measurements of low level laser therapy for MPS to provide a basis for optimizing the mechanism study, improving clinical therapy, and improving the clinical curative effect.
