About this trial
Objective: The aim of this study was to detect the impact of low intensity laser therapy on immune system response among DS children with pneumonia. Material and Methods: Forty DS children with bronchopneumonia, were included into ; group (A) received low intensity laser therapy, inspiratory muscle training in addition to medical treatment at a frequency of 3 sessions per week for one month, where the second group (B) received inspiratory muscle training in addition to medical treatment. Measurements of WBCs, IgG, IgA, IgM, RR and SaO2 were obtained for both groups before treatment and after one month at the end of the treatment program.
