Dosimetry model for photobiomodulation based on anthropometric and hemodynamic variables in patients with orofacial pain post-Covid-19: Study protocol for randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Orofacial pain and tension headache are symptoms that affect a large portion of the population, compromising productivity, social ability, and functional development. The treatment for reducing painful sensation should be chosen carefully, as pharmacological treatment may bring side effects and overload the organism of patients in pain. Low-level laser therapy has been used with local and systemic [vascular] applications for pain control. However, there is still uncertainty in the literature about the ideal dosimetric parameters for photobiomodulation treatment according to patient characteristics.

Methods

The objective of this project is to validate a dosimetry model based on the relationship between the effects of photobiomodulation with anthropometric and hem
