Introduction: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the autoimmune and chronic diseases of the central nervous system, this disease occurs more frequently in young people and women and leads to neurological symptoms. Oxidative stress, inflammatory process, and oligodendrocyte dysfunction has a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of this disease. Nowadays, it has been reported that Photobiomodulation (PBM) as a non-invasive threat has neuroprotective potential but the exact mechanisms are not understood. Methods: In this manuscript, we have reviewed the Photobiomodulation effects on MS. in this regard, we used "Photobiomodulation", " Laser therapy", and "Low-level laser therapy" keywords on MS to find related studies on this subject in PubMed, Google scholar, Elsevier, Medline, and Scopus databases. Results: Photobiomodulation has positive effects on MS by regulating the inflammatory process, controlling immune cell activity, and mitochondrial functions, as well as inhibiting free radicals’ production. Conclusion: Overall, researchers have suggested that laser therapy could be considered a promising new treatment for neurodegenerative diseases, such as multiple sclerosis.
