The influence of lowintensive polarized light on pain and nonepain behavioural responses (BR) was studied in experiments on mice with the locus of tonic pain (phormalin test). It was shown, that the action of polarized light on the acupuncture points (AP) statistically reliable decrease of pain BR (lisking of the locus of a pain), but increase the duration of nonepain BR (sleeping, eating). The analgetic effect depends from a choice of AP and ehpozition. The maximal analgesia (50%) was observed after 10-minute action of polarized light on AP E-36.
