Surgery, and IPL groups, with 8 mice in each group. A ZZIR-ID therapeutic device was used to directly irradiate bilateral SG regions of IPL group mice, with wavelength 980 nm, power density 1000 mW\/cm2, 10 min per session (5 min per side), every other day for 6 times. The control group received no treatment, while the.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Compared with the control and Sham surgery groups, the incidence of Horner\u2019s syndrome in the IPL group increased significantly (P &amp;lt; 0.05), manifesting as bilateral ptosis and enophthalmos, lasting about 2 h. Immediately after treatment, eye temperature in the IPL group increased significantly compared to pre-treatment (P &amp;lt; 0.05). Heart rate in the IPL group decreased significantly 30 min post-treatment compared to pre-treatment (P &amp;lt; 0.01), lasting 1\u20132 h. There was no statistically significant difference in weight changes between groups (P &amp;gt; 0.05). In all treated mice, the characteristic signs of Horner\u2019s syndrome developed within minutes of starting IPL exposure, reached their peak intensity between 1.5 and 2.5 h, and resolved completely within 3\u20134 h of the 10-min irradiation session.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>IPL irradiation of SG can effectively induce Horner\u2019s syndrome in mice, elevate eye temperature, and reduce heart rate.
