TLDR Low-level laser therapy shows promise but needs more research for improvement.

The study evaluated the efficacy of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) for non-surgical treatments by reviewing existing literature. It identified four categories of diseases treated with LLLT: brain-related diseases, skin-related diseases, cancers, and bone-related disorders. The study discussed the different types of LLLT used for these conditions. The conclusion highlighted that while there were positive aspects of LLLT, there were also some disadvantages, suggesting the need for further research to develop more effective methods.
