The effect of low-power laser therapy on acute ankle sprains was evaluated in a double-blind randomised clinical study consisting of 40 patients from the casualty ward. All patients received treatment until their ankle joint was painless. No statistically significant differences regarding discolouring, pain, oedema, and use of analgetics were observed between patients treated with laser and placebo. The patients treated with active laser had a significantly longer sick leave.
