Diode laser acupuncture has been applied to chronic pain patients. For chronic pain patients, the first injury often becomes sympathetic dystrophy and induces myofascial pain syndromes with trigger points. We applied sympathetic nerve blocks to the first injury followed by sympathetic dystrophy, and laser acupuncture to the myofascial pain syndromes as a trigger point therapy. The stimulation therapy using laser acupuncture is useful for the chronic pain patients who tend to depend on analgesics.
