What the authors concluded
Statistically significant differences were found in all outcomes measured (p < 0.001), but were larger in [nimesulide + LLLT group] than in [nimesulide group] (p < 0.0005) and [nimesulide + sham-LLLT group] (p < 0.0005). The results in [nimesulide + sham-LLLT group] were better than in [nimesulide group] (p < 0.0005)." Comment: A surprisingly large study, and nice results for PBM.
