They all responded weekly a pain scale questionnaire using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) before e after Photobiomodulation session. After the regression of symptoms, the treatments were suspended, and the patients are being monitored for the maintenance remission of symptoms.

Among 18 patients evaluated, 17 (94,4%) were women, one (5,6%) man, ranging from 37 until 84 years old (mean age was 60 years old). The average number of sessions performed on patients was 6, being 2 sessions the minimum number, and the maximum of 15 sessions performed.
