Study & Design
- Study Type
- interventional
- Study Design
- Not specified
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Patient’s satisfaction. Timepoint: One, three, six, and twelve months after laser therapy. Method of measurement: Visual Analogue Scale.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Pinprick test. Timepoint: One, three, six, and twelve months after laser therapy. Method of measurement: Pinprick test; is defined as the patient’s ability to identify the sharp needle touching the affected skin. Dental probe is used for this test with the constant force.;Thermal test. Timepoint: One, three, six, and twelve months after laser therapy. Method of measurement: Thermal test; which is defined as the patient’s ability to discern either the heat or cool probe. Small glass tubes containing water at15°C and 50°C are used. The perception of either cold or hot stimulus is recorded.;Two-point discrimination. Timepoint: One, three, six, and twelve months after laser therapy. Method of measurement: Two-point discrimination test; which is defined as the patient’s ability to detect the two nearby objects contacting the face skin truly two distinct points, not one. A calibrated drawing compass was used with minimum error (reproducibility more than 95%).
