Low-Level Laser Dosimetry for Venous Ulcer Healing: A Protocol for Systematic Review

2024-02-19T12:47:40+00:00

Objective: To analyze the dosimetry of low-level laser therapy in the healing process of venous ulcers. Method: This is a protocol for systematic review registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews under registry code CRD420211256286. Articles will be searched in 11 databases using Portuguese, English, and Spanish languages. The export of publications will follow the steps of study identification, selection, and data extraction. Disagreements will be resolved by consensus among reviewers; if they persist, a third reviewer will be consulted to decide whether to include the material.
