To evaluate efficacy of laserpuncture on pain and carbamazepin intake in post-herpetic tic douloureux by using two methods of evaluation (visual analogue scale (VAS) and carbamazepin medicament intake (CMI) in mg).

Their ages ranged from 50 to 60 years, they were recruited from out-clinics of Zagazig University Hospital; they were divided into two groups. group (A) received laserpuncture three times / week for three months in addition to the same traditional physical therapy (5 minutes infrared radiation to the affected side of the face plus 5 minutes facial massage) and the same medical and nursing care. group (B) received the same traditional physical therapy (5 minutes infrared radiation to the affected side of the face plus 5 minutes facial massage) and the same medical and nursing care. Result showed that application of the laserpuncture had valuable effects on post-herpetic tic douloureux as evidenced by the highly significant decrease in the VAS and carbamazepin medicament intake CMI in mg
