Effect of semiconductor GaAs laser Irradiation on pain perception in mice
The influence of subacute exposure (11 exposures within 16 days) of mice to the low power (GaAs) semiconductive laser-stimulated irradiation on pain perception was investigated. The pain perception was determined by the latency of foot- licking or jumping from the surface of a 53 degrees C hot plate. Repeated hot-plate testing resulted in shortening of latencies in both sham- and laser-irradiated mice. Laser treatment (wavelength, 905 nm ; frequency, 256 Hz ; irradiation time, 50 sec ; pulse duration, 100 nsec ; distance, 3 cm ; peak irradiance, 50 W/cm2 in irradiated area ; and total exposure, 0.41 mJ/cm2) induced further shortening of latencies, suggesting its stimulatory influence on pain perception. Administration of morphine (20 mg/kg) prolonged the latency of response to the hot plate in both sham- and laser-irradiated mice. This prolongation tended to be lesser in laser- irradiated animals. Further investigations are required to elucidate the mechanism of the observed effect of laser.
