The use of low levels visible or near infrared light for reducing pain, inflammation and edema, promoting healing wounds, deeper tissues nerves, preventing cell death tissue damage has been known over forty years since the invention lasers. Despite many reports positive findings from experiments conducted in vitro, animal models randomized controlled clinical trials, LLLT remains controversial mainstream medicine. biochemical mechanisms underlying effects are incompletely understood,...

Low-level laser (light) therapy (LLLT) has been known since 1967 but still remains controversial due to incomplete understanding of the basic mechanisms and selection inappropriate dosimetric parameters that led negative studies. The biphasic dose-response or Arndt-Schulz curve in LLLT shown both vitro studies animal experiments. This review will provide an update our previous ( Huang et al. 2009 ) coverage this topic. In mediators such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) mitochondrial membrane...

Pain is the most common reason for physician consultation in United States.One out of three Americans affected by chronic pain annually.The number one missed work or school days musculoskeletal pain.Currently accepted therapies consist non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, steroid injections, opiate medications and surgery, each which carries their own specific risk profiles.What needed are effective treatments have an acceptably low risk-profile.For over forty years, level laser (light)...

Dose and beam parameters are critical for successful laser, LED, other light therapy treatments; however, in our experience, researchers frequently make errors omissions when submitting papers publication. Journals publish studies with missing data, mathematical errors, no reported verification of parameters. This makes reproducibility impossible, further confounds an already complex subject.This article is intended to be a reference document non-physicist conducting low-level laser (LLLT)...

Low-level laser light therapy (LLLT) exerts beneficial effects on motor and histopathological outcomes after experimental traumatic brain injury (TBI), coherent near-infrared has been reported to improve cognitive function in patients with chronic TBI. However, the of LLLT recovery TBI are unknown. We hypothesized that administered controlled cortical impact (CCI) would post-injury Morris water maze (MWM) performance. (800 nm) was applied directly contused parenchyma or transcranially mice...

Pre-conditioning by ischemia, hyperthermia, hypothermia, hyperbaric oxygen (and numerous other modalities) is a rapidly growing area of investigation that used in pathological conditions where tissue damage may be expected. The caused surgery, heart attack, or stroke can mitigated pre-treating the local distant with low levels stress-inducing stimulus, induce protective response against subsequent major damage. Low-level laser (light) therapy (LLLT) has been for nearly 50 years to enhance...

Abstract OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of postoperative photobiomodulation therapy and physical rehabilitation on early recovery variables for dogs after hemilaminectomy treatment intervertebral disk disease. ANIMALS 32 nonambulatory client-owned dogs. PROCEDURES Dogs received standard care with (n = 11), sham (11), or only (10) surgery. Neurologic status at admission, diagnostic surgical variables, duration IV analgesic administration, grades (over 10 days surgery) were assessed. Time...

Neuropathic pain (NP) can be challenging to treat effectively as analgesic pharmacotherapy (MED) reduce pain, but the majority of patients do not experience complete relief. Our pilot approach is assess feasibility and efficacy an evidence-based photobiomodulation (PBM) intervention protocol. This would alternative paralleled standard MED for modulating NP intensity-related physical function quality life (QoL) prospectively in a mixed neurological primary burning mouth syndrome oral...

Background The management of fibromyalgia (FM) symptoms on a global scale remains complex endeavor. This study endeavors to assess the impact whole-body photobiomodulation (PBM) compared placebo PBM pain, functionality, and psychological in individuals afflicted with fibromyalgia. Objectives primary objectives this research were conduct comparative analysis effects patients suffering from (FM). Methods A total 42 subjects recruited private care practice for participation triple-blinded,...

The first phase of the National Performance Review (NPR I), announced September 7, 1993, redistributes control over administration between president and Congress, among within agencies. In focusing on how government works rather than what does, NPR I establishes a contemporary form politics/administration dichotomy. Congressional other political action affecting through rules reporting requirements is defined as unwarranted involvement in administration. Bureaucracies that administer these...

The hunger to participate that exists today in various segments of the American public is part a response what some people perceive as an unresponsiveness institutions and processes felt needs individual society. It also, part, expression desire for redistribution power life.

Hearing loss is a serious occupational health problem worldwide. Noise, aminoglycoside antibiotics and chemotherapeutic drugs induce hearing through changes in metabolic functions resulting sensory cell death the cochlea. Metabolic sequelae from noise exposure increase production of nitric oxide (NO) Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) contributing to higher levels oxidative stress beyond physiologic threshold intracellular repair. Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy light treatment involving...

This study analysed circadian variation changes in blood pressure (BP), the pain threshold (PPT) and elasticity of tissue patients with fibromyalgia (FM) after a whole-body photobiomodulation (PBM) treatment. was tripled-blinded randomized clinical trial including forty participants FM. Participants using validated self-measurement BP devices attained readings that were used to calculate variation. Additionally, standard algometer 1cm2 assess 13 tender points by exerting up 4 kg, strain...

Background: The effects of Low Level Light Therapy (LLLT) on cellular function arise predominantly from stimulation ATP production and reduction oxidative stress. These are dose dependent a beam irradiance irradiation time. Human sperm motility has been shown to increase with LLLT irradiation. objective this study was investigate the laser Emitting Diode (LED) photobiomodulation human spermatozoa DNA integrity.Methods: An in-vitro controlled trial performed within an IVF clinic laboratory...
