Clinical Evaluation of Linear Polarized Near Infrared Irradiation Using SUPER LIZER HA-550 (R) in the Oral and Maxillofacial Regions

Part 1·The Cases After Neck Dissection

Abstract

Four cases of oral and maxillofacial pain resulted from neck dissection or postoperative radiotherapy for the oral cancers were treated with SUPER LIZER HA-550 (R). SUPER LIZER HA-550 (R) is the linear polarized light type near infrared ray therapy equipment; the range of wavelength is 600-1600nm, and the best output power is 1800mW. The lesions accompanied with pain were treated with SUPER LIZER HA 550 (R) once a day for continuous five days a week. The therapeutic effect were evaluated with the Visual Analogue Scale. As a result of this therapy, one case showed complete recovery and three cases showed improvent clinically.
