title: [The mechanism of action of low-intensity laser radiation].
abstract: The authors review primary mechanisms of action of low-intensity laser radiation used in physiotherapy. The hypothesis suggested by the authors allows one to compare efficacy of bioenergetic action of electromagnetic radiation varying in ranges, of therapeutic lasers, in particular. However, animal experiments have shown greater than bioenergetic action efficacy of the mechanism used by the nervous system in response to laser radiation.
