Uvod: Obstajajo različni postopki zmanjševanja bolečine, ki se razlikujejo glede na stanje bolnika. Sistem svetlobne terapije Bioptron je naprava, ki oddaja svetlobo podobno delu elektromagnetnega spektra, ki ga proizvaja sonce, vendar brez UV sevanja in se uporablja v postopkih zmanjševanja bolečine. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je bil ugotoviti vpliv obsevanja s polarizirano polikromatsko nekoherentno svetlobo na občutek praga bolečine s pritiskom in spremembo temperature obravnavanega področja. Metode: V raziskavi je sodelovalo 20 zdravih preiskovancev. Obsevanje s sistemom svetlobne terapije Bioptron se je izvajalo na področju lateralnega epikondila nadlahtnice. Za ugotavljanje zaznavanja mehanske bolečine in spremembe temperature obravnavanega področja so bile izvedene meritve z pritiskovnim algometrom in meritve z infrardečim termometrom. Meritve so bile narejene trikrat, pred obsevanjem, takoj po in še 15 min po obsevanju s sevalnikom polarizirane polikromatske nekoherentne svetlobe, na treh mestih: lateralni epikondil-izvor mišice, trebuh in kita mišice ekstenzor carpi radialis brevis. Za statistično analizo podatkov je bil uporabljen program Microsoft Excel in statistični program MedCalc Statistical Software. Rezultati: Meritve so pokazale da je obsevanje s polarizirano polikromatsko nekoherentno svetlobo ugodno za psihosomatsko stanje preiskovanca. Tako občutek toplote (p = 0,00001), kot tudi občutek ugodja (p = 0,04) se je na obsevani roki v vseh treh časovnih razmikih ocenjevanja pomembno razlikoval. Pri rezultatih površinske temperature kože na obsevani roki, je na vseh treh merilnih mestih prišlo do pomembnih razlik v spremembi temperature (p = 0,0001) med vsemi tremi časovnimi obdobji merjenj. Meritve občutka praga bolečine s pritiskom na obsevani roki se niso pomembno razlikovale (p ≥ 0,05). Razprava in sklep: Rezultati so pokazali, da obsevanje s polarizirano polikromatsko nekoherentno svetlobo blagodejno vpliva na počutje preiskovanca, vpliva tudi na povišanje površinske temperature obsevanega predela, ne vpliva pa na občutek praga bolečine s pritiskom.

• Title: Impact of polarized polychromatic non coherent light on perceiving pain threshold with pressure : research work

Abstract

Introduction: There are various ways to reduce pain that vary according to the condition of the patient. Bioptron light therapy system is a device that emits light similar to the part of an electromagnetic spectrum produced by the sun, only without UV radiation and it is used in procedures for reducing pain. Purpose: The purpose of this bachelor`s work was to determine the effect of irradiation with polychromatic non coherent light on perceiving pain threshold with pressure and changing the temperature of the area under radiation. Methods: The study included 20 healthy subjects. Irradiation with the Bioptron light therapy system was performed in the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. Measurements with a pressure algometer and measurements with an infrared thermometer were performed to determine the perception of mechanical pain and the temperature change in the area under irradiation. Measurements were made three times, before irradiation, immediately after and 15 minutes after irradiation with the PPN radiator. For the analysis of the results, were used Microsoft Excel 2007 and MedCalc Statistical Software Results: Measurements have shown that radiation with a PPN radiator is favorable for the psychosomatic condition of the subjects. This feeling of heat (p = 0.00001), as well as the feeling of comfort (p = 0.04), differed significantly on the irradiated arm at all three evaluation intervals. Algometric measurements on the irradiated arm did not differ significantly (p ≥ 0.05). Discussion and conclusion: The results showed that irradiation with a polychromatic non coherent light therapy irradiator beneficially affect the psychosomatic condition of the subjects; it also affects the surface temperature of the irradiated region, but does not effect on pain threshold with pressure.
