    The study evaluated the effectiveness of photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy in reducing acute pain after septoplasty in 62 patients. Patients were divided into two groups, with one group receiving PBM therapy at specific intervals post-surgery. Results showed that PBM therapy significantly reduced pain and inflammatory response, leading to less pronounced changes in the autonomic nervous system. Specifically, patients who received PBM experienced lower pain levels between 6 to 24 hours post-surgery compared to those who did not receive PBM. Overall, PBM therapy was effective in reducing pain severity and improving recovery after septoplasty.
