Effect of laser on the pain of women with nipple damage

INTERVENTION: E02.594 Laser group: 40 women with nipple damage will receive irradiation of 2 joules of laser energy (660 nanometers, visible red, continuous light, 100 mW optical power and InGaAIP semiconductor) in single and punctual application in the center of the nipple lesion for 10 seconds. Control group: 40 women with nipple lesion will receive irradiation of 0 joules of energy with similar equipment, however, with light blocked in single and punctual application in the center of the nipple lesion for 10 seconds. Both groups received guidance on breast care and correct breastfeeding.
