Cellular damage from bacteria, viruses, and even cancer can be warded off with the aid of these reactions. An efficient non-pharmaceutical method of treating inflammation is frequently seen as physiotherapy. In this study, the effects of ultrasonic treatment (US) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on the levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) in rats with inflamed testicles are investigated. Methods: Three groups, each including eighteen male rats, were established: the control group (C), the US group (which received ultrasonic treatment), and the LLLT group (which received low-level laser therapy). Results: The blood CRP levels in the US group were significantly lower than those in the control and LLLT groups. Conclusion: Findings suggest that ultrasound might be more effective than LLLT in treating testicular inflammation, as shown by the decrease in blood CRP levels.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.34172\/jlms.2025.04","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,18]],"date-time":"2025-03-18T08:29:47Z","timestamp":1742286587000},"page":"e4","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.34172\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Comparative Efficacy of Ultrasound and Laser Therapy in Modulating Inflammatory Markers in a Rat Model of Testicular Inflammation"],"prefix":"10.34172","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5898-9868","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ahmed Mamdouh","family":"Abdelkader","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Physiotherapy (Integumentary), School of Health and Social Work, University of Hertfordshire hosted by GAF (UH-GAF), Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4170-6694","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Ahmed Ali","family":"Torad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, Clarkson University, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4753-2568","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Mohamed Ahmed","family":"Elbedewy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Allied Medical Sciences, Isra University, Amman, Jordan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9180-0630","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Nihal","family":"Mostafa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lecturer of Biochemistry, Faculty of Science, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3301-3855","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Amr Saadeldeen","family":"Mohamed Shalaby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Basic Sciences, Faculty of Physical Therapy, Cairo University, Cairo, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0386-1650","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Tayseer Saber","family":"Abdeldayem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lecturer of Physical Therapy for Pediatrics, Department of Woman and Child Health, Faculty of Physical Therapy, Beni-Suef University, Beni Suef, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0529-7379","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Alaa Anwar","family":"Ahmed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Lecturer of Physical Therapy, Department of Physical Therapy for Integumentary, Egyptian Chinese University, Cairo, Egypt"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"20123","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,11]]},"container-title":["Journal of Lasers in Medical Sciences"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sbmu.ac.ir\/jlms\/article\/view\/46444\/34357","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sbmu.ac.ir\/jlms\/article\/view\/46444\/34357","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,18]],"date-time":"2025-03-18T08:29:47Z","timestamp":1742286587000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sbmu.ac.ir\/jlms\/article\/view\/46444"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,11]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.34172\/jlms.2025.04","relation":{},"ISSN":["2008-9783","2228-6721"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2008-9783","type":"print"},{"value":"2228-6721","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,11]]},"assertion":[{"value":"Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences","name":"journal_owner","label":"Journal Owner"},{"value":"Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences","name":"journal_publisher","label":"Journal Publisher"},{"value":"2024-10-28","order":1,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2025-01-19","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2025-02-11","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
