The sinuses can become infected when they are blocked and filled with fluid, causing nasal blockage, facial pain and\u00a0 headaches. <a href=\"https:\/\/ent.gr\/en\/%ce%b5%cf%85-lllt\/\">EY-LLLT<\/a> has important therapeutic effects such as biostimulation, anti-inflammatory, anti bacterial and analgesic effects and is known to alleviate these symptoms. Applying EY-LLLT decreases and eventually eliminates nasal inflammation and nasal congestion (2,3,4). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">Review studies have shown that anti inflammatory effects of low-level lasers are the same as anti inflammatory effects of non-steroidal ant-inflammatory drugs NSAIDs (2). In cases of blockage due to nasal polyps in EY-LLLT causes shrinkage and disappearance of polyps thus improving nasal breathing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"EY-LLLT_has_been_shown_to_significantly_decrease_nasal_polyps_and_improve_symptoms\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 18pt;\">EY-LLLT has been shown to significantly decrease nasal polyps and improve symptoms:<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">Need to blow nose,<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">sneezing,<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">runny nose,<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">post nasal discharge and<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">thick nasal discharge.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.satory.gr\/en\/acupuncture-upper-and-lower-respiratory-infections\/8148\/\">Coughing<\/a> also decreases and sleep related symptoms such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">Lack of a good night\u2019s sleep,<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">Difficulty falling asleep,<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">Waking up at night,<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">Waking up tired are significantly improved.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14pt;\">Psychological symptoms also improve significantly as does sense of taste, smell and nasal congestion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;\">References<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;\">1) Naghdi S, Ansari NN, Fathali M, Bartley J, Varedi M, Honarpishe R.
