Summary

This project aims to validate a dosimetry model for photobiomodulation treatment in patients with orofacial pain and tension-type headache symptoms. The study will involve 240 participants divided into four age groups. Different treatment approaches will be applied, including local photobiomodulation and systemic laser therapy. Various physiological measurements will be taken before, during, and after the treatments, including skin type, weight, height, blood pressure, and heart rate. Additionally, data from questionnaires on pain and headache symptoms will be analyzed. Monte Carlo simulation will be employed to validate the model based on these measurements and light transmission. The research addresses the need for effective pain management strategies in cases where medication-based treatments may have unwanted side effects.
