Reversal of Anaesthesia with Diode Laser

At approximately 45 minutes into the treatment session, subjects in the laser group received irradiation from a 4 W power, 810 nm diode laser (Fox; ARC Laser, GmbH, Nürnberg, Germany). The laser was operated in continuous mode, delivering 12-second shots per point using a therapy head with a point size of 0.38 cm². Each point received 6.3 J/cm² of laser energy, resulting in a total energy density of 37.8 J/cm² across 6 points.

Sham laser was applied symbolically as a diffused closed laser (targeted beam) at the same distance and simultaneously. Evaluations after laser irradiation were conducted by a responsible specialist physician who was not involved in performing the treatment procedures.
