Abstract
At present there is only a little knowledge about the stimulation of nerve regeneration. Recently low level laser therapy (LLLT) has been reported as one of the best tools for nerve regeneration, We treated an intractable tarsal tunnel syndrome patient who was 39 years old and had no specific past history, The pain and gait disturbance had not responded to several conservative treatments. But 1 week's use of LLLT left the patient free from limping and pain. The effects were confirmed electrophysiologically. The authors think that LLLT could be useful for various kinds of nerve lesions.
