LLLT shrinks the SCI lesion area. (A) Representative images of lesion profile and cavitation in control and LLLT groups at 3, 7, and 14 dpi, respectively. The lesion area and cavity are outlined according to Nissl staining with cresyl violet. Lesion assessment was location-matched between the two groups. (B) Assessment of lesion and cavity area at 3, 7, and 14 dpi. Bar = 500 μm. (n = 2 sections per rat with 3 rats per group; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01, compared with control).
