Clinical trials in other conditions have reported potential benefits of laser therapy in the treatment of fibromyalgia [38], and as an adjunctive treatment when combined with exercise in the management of chronic low back pain [22]. For laser acupuncture (the use of laser as an alternative to needle for acupuncture treatments), a recent review and meta-analysis found evidence of benefit in several forms of pain [46].

In the United States, since relaxation of registration requirements, the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved more than 25 different laser therapy devices for the treatment of pain since 2002 (Table 12-1) [2].
