Resumo: A epicondilite lateral é uma desordem comum, entre a população adulta, de foro musculo-esquelético, que limita e condiciona a qualidade de vida dos pacientes. O laser é uma modalidade electrofísica utilizada na prática clinica, em Fisioterapia. Apesar do cepticismo adjacente aos beneficios da laserterapia, estudos recentes demonstram que a radiação laser com baixas doses de energia, é capaz de promover efeitos biológicos significativos. Objectivos: Entender a eficácia da laserterpia no tratamento da epicondilite lateral, após a análise da informação encontrada nos vários estudos. Métodos: Foi elaborada uma pesquisa nas bases de dados B-on e Pubmed, entre os anos 2000 e 2010, com a finalidade de encontrar artigos de revisão bibliográfica e experimentais, sobre os benefícios da laserterapia na epicondilite. Conclusão: Os resultados são controversos, existindo estudos que suportam a eficácia desta modalidade no tratamento da epicondilite, bem como outros que refutam os benefícios do laser nesta patologia. Parece não existir uniformidade nos parâmetros da radiação laser a adoptar pelos diversos autores estudados.
Abstract: Lateral epicondylitis is a common disorder among the general adult population, from musculoskeletal forum, which limits the quality of life of patients. The laser is an electrophysical modality used in clinical practice in physiotherapy. Despite the skepticism to the benefits of laser therapy, recent studies show that laser radiation with low doses of energy, is capable of promoting significant biological effects. In lateral epicondylitis, the low level lasertherapy (LLLT) is effective for pain relief, increased grip strength and improving the overall function of the joint. Objectives: Summarize the information gathered in several studies to verify the effectiveness of lasertherapy in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis, after reviewing the information found in several studies. Method: This study results from a search carried out in the databases Pubmed and B-on, between 2000 and 2010, in order to find articles about the benefits of laser therapy in epicondylitis. Conclusion: The results are controversial, and there are studies that support the efficacy of this modality in the treatment of epicondylitis, and others that refute the benefits of laser in this pathology. There is no uniformity in the parameters of laser radiation to be adopted by several studied authors.
