Summary
This study tests whether high-power laser therapy can reduce itching, pain, and improve quality of life in people with notalgia paresthetica, a chronic nerve condition. Forty adults will be randomly assigned to receive either real laser or sham treatment over four weeks. The goal is to see if this non-invasive approach offers relief beyond standard care.
