Model: Collagenase injection into the tendon to induce tendinitis, analysed in acute and chronic inflammatory phases
Low-level laser therapy modulated messenger RNA expression of interleukin-10, VEGF, MMP-1 and MMP-13 in both acute and chronic phases of tendon inflammation (p < 0.05). The authors note that optimal parameters remain to be established.
