The purpose of the investigation was to study the impact of low-intensity laser therapy (LILT) on platelet aggregatory properties in patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) on an exacerbation. A total of 105 patients aged 36 to 77 years who were divided into a study group (n = 60) and a control one (n = 45) were examined. Thirty persons who formed a healthy group were additionally examined. In the study group patients, drug therapy was supplemented by LILT via various methods. The control group received only drug therapy. The investigation revealed that patients with CP on an exacerbation showed diverse changes in platelet aggregatory properties towards hyperaggregation. LILT was ascertained to have a normalizing effect on platelet aggregatory properties in the study group patients.
