Laser and Auricular Acupuncture
The cold laser has been found useful for conditions treatable through the ear. Since the laser is a form of light therapy, the laser does not pierce the skin, infection and cellulitis issues are essentially moot, and the therapy is painless. In addition, the laser can precisely target the point. Because of these features, more investigation into the use of laser auriculotherapy merits consideration.
Clinical notes
Note 5 — “A 1990 study showed that treatment with the helium-neon auriculotherapy laser can increase the experimental pain threshold and suggests a possible alternative for patients intolerant of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation.”16
