Abstract
Therapeutic alternatives for the treatment of neuropathic pain are necessary, since this type of pain does not respond satisfactorily to any conventional intervention as surgery and/or medication. Physical therapy has demonstrated through neural mobilization techniques and laser therapy to be effective for improving the quality of life of patients with this kind of pain. This study becomes important because of the lack of studies demonstrating the molecular effects of Neural Mobilization and laser therapy techniques, as these techniques are able to decrease pain sensitivity in animals with chronic pain (these results, are based on work published by our group).
