Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) Treatment for Breast-Feeding Women With Painful Nipple Lesions

The low-level laser emits monochromatic, coherent, bundled laser light. In each therapy a energy dose of 2-4 Joul (J) / centimeter (cm)\^2 is applied over a duration of about 30 seconds using level 1 (20 percent of maximum output) of the 350 milliwatt (mW) device.

The intervention is conducted identically to the low-level laser therapy but the placebo laser that is used emits only red light that is polychromatic, leading to a reduction in energy being emitted and therewith to no or a smaller effect.
