Ilib lasertherapy and its systemic effect markers: integrative review

Intravascular laser Irradiation of Blood (ILIB) consists of transcunaneos blood irradiation by low-power laser capable of generating a biological response to the photostimulation cell. From the range of applications described in the scientific literature, this research aims to review and describe the main effects of ILIB therapy. It’s an integrative literature review, in order to answer the question: “What’s the evidence that the use of ILIB therapy impacts the clinical condition of patients at a systemic level?”. From the data collection on the platforms PubMed, VHL, Web of Science and Scopus, 7 articles were selected to compose the review. It was then observed the description of effects on inflammatory interleukins, erythrocyte viscosity, glucose, HDL, LDL, mitochondrial DNA, immunoglobulins, CuZn Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) enzyme and on the immune system. The effects anti-inflammatory, immunological and antioxidants were the most predominant, capable of improving the general condition of patients by stimulating circulating cells in the short term. Therefore, ILIB presents itself as promising therapeutics with a supporting and complementary character in several clinical situations, in order to improve the quality of life of people and their affections.
