Abstract
Aim. Groin pain related to adductor strain in athletes is a common problem in sports medicine as much as groin injuries. The purpose of the present study was to investigate effect of diode laser and Fascial Distortion Model (FDM) on groin adductor strain in handball athletes. Materials and Methods. Forty handball male and female athletes with adductor groin strain were divided randomly into two groups. The experimental group (A) received (Diode laser 905 nm), FDM and medical treatment, while control group (B) received the sham laser, FDM and medical treatment. Outcome measures included the Copenhangen hip and groin outcome score (HAGOS) and pressure algometry. Results. both groups showed significant difference in the post treatment outcome measures, but the experimental group showed a more significant improvement than the control group with p-value > 0.05. Conclusion. the results imply that treatment of adductor groin strain in handball athletes by FDM and diode laser (905 nm) [LLLT] is more effective than FDM alone.

Streszczenie
Background. The effect of Low Level (LLLT) Laser on median nerve morphology after carpal tunnel release (CTR) had been not investigated yet.
Objectives. To investigate the effect of LLLT on morphological changes of the median nerve after surgical decompression of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Design. A prospective, randomized, pre–post-test, controlled trial. Setting. outpatient clinic of Banha University Hospital – Egypt. The study was conducted between June 2017 and Feb 2018. Participants. Thirty patients with residual pain after 3 months from CTR randomly divided into two equal groups. Interventions. group (A) received a program of gallium-aluminium-arsenide Laser, 850 nm, 100 mW, continuous operation area of 0.07 cm2, fluency of irradiation of 3 J/cm2, exposure of 30 seconds per point, six points of irradiation on the carpal tunnel two sessions per week over six week’s period in addition to medical treatment, while group (B) received medical treatment alone.
Main Outcome Measure. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Sensory Distal Latency (SDL), median nerve Cross Sectional Area (CSA).
Results. There was a statistically significant reduction in VAS score, and improvement of SDL, CSA and ΔCSA in laser group compared with control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion. Low level therapy was yield more improvement for persistent or recurrent symptoms after CTR.
