Placebo Comparator: Control group |
Procedure: Placebo group
The irradiation will be applied transcutaneously in the sublingual region (3 points on the left side and 3 points on the right side), irradiated for 30 seconds and the total treatment time will be 3 minutes. The group will receive placebo (with switched-off) irradiation of the DMC-brand laser therapy EC model, with combined wavelength (660 and 780 nm), 1J of energy per point and output power of 35 mW. A disposable plastic material covering the application pen will be used for hygiene reasons. The treatment will be performed twice weekly for a total of 4 consecutive weeks of treatment, and after completion, the patients will be reassessed of all the complementary tests that have been requested. |
Active Comparator: Laser group |
Radiation: Low level laser therapy
The irradiation will be applied transcutaneously in the sublingual region (3 points on the left side and 3 points on the right side), irradiated for 30 seconds and the total treatment time will be 3 minutes. The group will receive irradiation with a DMC-branded laser EC device, with combined wavelength (660 and 780 nm), 1J of energy per point and output power of 35 mW. A disposable plastic material covering the application pen will be used for hygiene reasons. The treatment will be performed twice weekly for a total of 4 consecutive weeks of treatment, and after completion, the patients will be reassessed of all the complementary tests that have been requested. |
Saint George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ): We apply questions related to daily life activities related to the quality of life of patients with COPD. They will be evaluated immediately after the end of treatment.
The SGRQ addresses aspects related to three areas:
symptoms, activity and psychosocial impacts that respiratory disease inflicts on the patient. Each domain has a maximum possible score; the points of each answer are summed and the total is referred to as a percentage of this maximum.

Current Primary Outcome Measures ICMJE |
Measure of functional capacity [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ] Walk test: In a flat hallway, it will be delimited by two cones and the patient will be guided to walk from one side to the other. The walking speed will be controlled by a "compact disc" that emits beeps (simple BIP) at regular intervals. The test will be interrupted by exhaustion or when the patient is unable to maintain the proposed speed.

Brief Summary | Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is among the most common chronic respiratory diseases (CKD). Millions of people of all ages suffer from these diseases. COPD is between the fifth and sixth of the leading causes of death in Brazil. It generates an inflammatory pulmonary response that is softened by non-curative treatments and that present serious side effects. Low intensity laser (LBI) or laser therapy has been used for about 50 years to help the healing process, revealing efficient anti-inflammatory and analgesic responses, as well as experimental models of acute and chronic inflammation. However, little is known about its response in inflammatory lung diseases, especially COPD. Some reports indicate that laser therapy may interfere positively by relieving clinical signs, the onset, and the final symptoms of pulmonary inflammation. The present project aims to study the effects of LBI on Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in patients with pulmonary processes, determine their mechanisms of action and evaluate its effect on patients' functional capacity. | ||||
