Effects of monochrome light of the green and red spectra (mean wave length 540 and 670 nm, respectively) were studied on experimental rat model of compression-ischemic neuropathy (40 animals). The nerve under compression was exposed to green and red light using light-diode physiotherapeutic unit "Spectr-LC" with different intensity. Electromyographic parameters of the compressed nerve improved significantly after exposure to monochrome green light with intensity 500 mJ/cm2. The effect was dose dependent. Green light produced better effect.
