Various<unk>  devices have been promoted for use in treatment of several musculoskeletal conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. They have also been promoted for temporomandibular joint disorders, wound healing, smoking cessation, and tuberculosis.<unk>  appears to be effective for preventing oral mucositis in recipients of a stem cell transplant with chemotherapy. In other areas, evidence for<unk>  remains conflicted. Some studies suggest that<unk>  may be modestly effective, in relieving short-term pain for rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, chronic<unk>  back pain, acute and chronic neck pain, tendinopathy, and possibly, chronic joint disorders. The evidence for<unk>  being useful in dentistry, and in the treatment of wound healing is unclear. Veterinary use Veterinary clinics use cold laser devices to treat a wide variety of ailments, from arthritis to wounds, on dogs and cats. Very little research has been done on the effects of this treatment on animals. Brennen McKenzie, president of the Evidence-Based Veterinary Medicine Association, has stated that "research into cold laser in dogs and cats is sparse and generally<unk>  quality. Most studies are small and have minimal or uncertain controls for bias and error". While allowing that some studies show promising results, he reports that others do not. While believing that there is enough evidence to warrant further study, he concludes that there is not enough evidence to support routine clinical use of cold laser in animals.
