LASER CORRECTION PROCEDURE FOR PAIN SYNDROME Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC A61N5/67 A61K31/7076 A61P29/00 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: correction of pain syndrome accompanying severe psoriasis is ensured with skin irradiation within affected region or above inflammatory tissue using low intensity IR rays of CO₂ laser. Laser wavelength is 10.6 mcm. Radiation power density in pulse-periodic regime is 0.015-1 Wt/cm², radiation pulse duration is 0.5-10 mc, pulse window is 10-100 mc, and highly directional IR radiation divergence is 10-2 radians. While radiation, laser beam is moved on skin within affected region during 5-10 minutes, herewith zone exposure duration determined by laser beam diameter is 1-2 sec. Skin is preliminary coated with adenosine triphosphate with daily exposure within course of 10-15 days.

EFFECT: evident reparative analgesic effect, reduced time of hospital stay, prevention of complications.
