Is There Any Difference Between High-Intensity Laser and Low-Level Laser in the Treatment of Tennis Elbow? A Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials
High-intensity laser therapy and low-level laser therapy are both effective modalities for improving symptoms of tennis elbow (pain, function, and grip strength). Low-level laser therapy demonstrates more consistent significance in pain relief, while high-intensity laser therapy shows greater advantages in enhancing grip strength. More importantly, laser therapy combined with bandage produces synergistic effects, highlighting its value as a key complementary component within multimodal rehabilitation programs.
