 LLLT(low level light therapy)is an option for the treatment of chronic pain, which includes medications, nerve blocks and surgical treatment such as spinal cord stimulation. Although there is a paucity of high quality clinical evidence about LLLT, with evaluation for its minimally invasive and low incidence of serious adverse events.

 In this article, the history, types and principles of LLLT, including mechanism of action, as well as basic experimental and clinical research describing the efficacy of LLLT in burning mouth syndrome, postherpetic neuralgia and chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy will be presented. It is impressive that the number of references describing the efficacy of light emitting diodes(LED)as a light source for LLLT has increased. In Japan, light therapy devices for chronic pain using LED light sources have been used. It was also interesting to find a literature mentioning LLLT as a potential treatment for COVID-19, which caused a global pandemic in 2020.
