(Verma et al., 2022) NPRS0–10: HPLT ↓61% (p≤0.001); Conventional ↓41% (p≤0.001). Between-group: HPLT better (p≤0.001). IPT (isokinetic peak torque): HPLT ↑13% (p=0.028); Conventional +1.5% (NS); between-group NS (p=0.113). RTS NR. Not assessed. No AEs; short protocol; compliance implied high.
AE: adverse event; VAS0–10: visual analogue scale 0–10; HPLT: high-power laser therapy; IPT: isokinetic peak torque.
