Aerobic Exercises Versus Laser Puncture on Immune Response Following Neck Lymph Node Dissection

The case was lying back in a comfortable position on the stationary bike ergometer when the exercise test was conducted. The exercise test began with a 3-minute warm-up session of unloaded cycling on a cycle ergometer, and then progressed at a rate of 10 W per minute up to the subject's threshold. After cycling for 30 W to warm up, the intensity was raised by 15 W every 60 seconds until fatigue, after which the individuals cycled for 30 W to cool down. This treatment protocol was administered to each patient 3 times/week for a total of 15 minutes of treatment, broken into intervals of two to three minutes each.

The laser probe was administered using the contact approach on the dorsal midline, in the depression below the spinous process of C7 at Governor Vessel, with the patient seated in a chair with back support (GV - 14 Dazhui). The primary power switch was activated. The following settings were used for applying laser puncture: 5 mW, the maximum average power. Type of laser: gallium arsenide (Ga-As), 904 nm wavelength, 5 kHz maximum repetition rate - Program: Maintaining programs for people who had their neck lymph nodes removed and have a low leukocyte count, up to 30 J/cm2 of energy, a 2 J/cm2 energy density, and protective glasses were required to prevent irreversible eye injury from either direct or indirect laser exposure. The treatment took place for 15 minutes.
