Parkinson’s disease is a neurological disorder of complex alterations that occurs with its patients. This chronic and neurodegenerative disease is with an incidence above 65 years of 1% to 2% worldwide and prevalence in Brazil of 3%. The causes of the disease, mainly due to muscular atrophy and its subsequent and constant pain which make the daily life of the patients quite difficult. In this paper, we present a case report where a simultaneous combination of laser and negative pressure (Photo vacuum) is used. This application was performed in the painful regions in a sequence of sessions, allowing a stimulation of the circulation, increased muscular atrophy and better localized compression of the metabolism. The protocol was very positive with changes in the assessments made, previous and post-intervention comparisons. The positive result is more seen as a more effective test to test this protocol, as well as an organization of systematic studies that makes possible the evaluation of the clinical and mental capacity of patients with Parkinson’s.
