Abstract

Background and Objective: Lasers have been used as stimulators for creating pain response without stimulating mechanoreceptive fibers. Various laser systems are still under investigation on the quest for best laser system. Our objective was to test the feasibility of the 980-nm diode laser for LEP (laser evoked potentials) studies.
