|---|---|
| It is expected to prove the effectiveness of the laser device for the healing and reduction of pain caused by breast cracks, related to the traumas that occurred to the mothers during breastfeeding. To evaluate the healing, the evaluation of the photos will be performed by two specialists, where they will evaluate the images before and after the laser application. The material evaluated by the researchers will consist of frontal view images detailing the entire evolution of the fissures, where the result will be judged from 0 to 10, evaluating the signs of clinical improvement with pictures from before and after, with 0 showing no improvement and 10 significant improvement. For the assessment of pain, the results obtained through VAS will be reviewed, where the participants themselves will quantify the pain according to what they are feeling.;Healing: the images taken before and after the intervention by two specialists will be evaluated, evaluating the signs of clinical improvement with pictures of before and after, with 0 showing no improvement and 10 a significant improvement. Pain: it will be assessed before and after the intervention through the VAS (Visual Analogue Scale), where each participant marks their level of pain intensity. VAS is characterized by a horizontal or vertical line of 10 centimeters, with numbers from zero to ten, where zero represents absence of pain and ten represents disabling pain. | — |
