One article on PainSci cites Anders 2015: Cold Laser Therapy Reviewed

PainSci commentary on Anders 2015: ?This page is one of thousands in the PainScience.com bibliography. It is not a general article: it is focused on a single scientific paper, and it may provide only just enough context for the summary to make sense. Links to other papers and more general information are provided wherever possible.
