Evaluation of low-level laser therapy in the treatment of masticatory muscles spasticity in children with cerebral palsy.

abstract：:Photobiological research in the last 30 yr has shown the existence of ultraweak photon emission in biological tissue, which can be detected with sophisticated photomultiplier systems. Although the emission of this ultraweak radiation, often termed biophotons, is extremely low in mammalian cells, it can be efficiently ...
