Low-level laser therapy to treat fibromyalgia
More research about the benefits of Light Therapy (a.k.a. photobiomodulation) for Fibromyalgia! "After LLLT or sham treatment, the number of tender points was significantly reduced in both groups (LLLT, p < 0.0001; placebo, p = 0.0001). However, all other fibromyalgia symptoms showed significant improvements after LLLT compared to placebo (FIQ, p = 0.0003; McGill, p = 0.0078; and VAS, p = 0.0020). LLLT provided relief from fibromyalgia symptoms in patients and should be further … [Read more...] about Low-level laser therapy to treat fibromyalgia
Personal Overview of the Application Of LLLT in Severely Infertile Japanese Females
More research about the benefits of Light Therapy (a.k.a. photobiomodulation) for Fertility! "One thing is abundantly clear: with a successful pregnancy rate of just over 22% in female patients with severe infertility problems and a failure rate with other approaches of ART from 5 to 9 years, LLLT as applied in the author’s clinic with the proximal priority technique can no longer be regarded as some form of ‘black magic’, but must be allowed to take its place as a valued tool among the … [Read more...] about Personal Overview of the Application Of LLLT in Severely Infertile Japanese Females
Near-infrared light heals eyes
More research about the benefits of Light Therapy (a.k.a. photobiomodulation) for recovery of vision cells in the retina! "Ms Albarracin said that treating the retina with just a few minutes exposure to soft near-infra-red light a day for less than a week had produced a remarkable recovery in damaged photoreceptors (vision cells) which ordinarily would have died.

Low-level laser therapy improves vision in patients with age-related macular degeneration
More research about the benefits of Light Therapy (a.k.a. photobiomodulation) for Macular Degeneration! "LLLT significantly improved visual acuity (p < 0.00001 versus baseline) in 162/182 (95%) of eyes with cataracts and 142/146 (97%) of eyes without cataracts. The prevalence of metamorphopsia, scotoma, and dyschromatopsia was reduced. In patients with wet AMD, edema and bleeding improved. The improved vision was maintained for 3-36 mo after treatment. Visual acuity in the control group … [Read more...] about Low-level laser therapy improves vision in patients with age-related macular degeneration
Low-level light therapy of the eye and brain
More research about the benefits of Light Therapy (a.k.a. photobiomodulation) for Diabetic Retinoathy! "LLLT or photobiomodulation refers to the use of low-power and high-fluence light from lasers or LEDs in the red to near-infrared wavelengths to modulate a biological function. Cytochrome oxidase is the primary photoacceptor of LLLT with beneficial eye and brain effects since this mitochondrial enzyme is crucial for oxidative energy metabolism, and neurons depend on cytochrome oxidase to … [Read more...] about Low-level light therapy of the eye and brain
Photobiomodulation Inhibits Long-term Structural and Functional Lesions of Diabetic Retinopathy
More research about the benefits of Light Therapy (a.k.a. photobiomodulation) for Diabetic Retinopathy! "In summary, PBM for only 4 min/day significantly inhibited the development of several clinicallyacceptedand important lesions of DR. In particular, daily administration of PBM for 8 months significantly inhibited the diabetesinduced increase in vascular permeability and capillary degeneration that is characteristic of DR. Moreover, PBM protected against the reduction in visual function that … [Read more...] about Photobiomodulation Inhibits Long-term Structural and Functional Lesions of Diabetic Retinopathy
Nitric Oxide Modulates Fracture Healing
More research about the benefits of Light Therapy (a.k.a. photobiomodulation) for Fracture Healing! "In summary, the studies outlined in this report suggest that NOS is induced during fracture healing in rats and in humans. Systemic inhibition of these enzymes reduced the magnitude of the fracture‐healing response, whereas supplementation of NO to fracture healing augmented the process in rats. These results have potential clinical significance in that NO might enhance fracture healing, … [Read more...] about Nitric Oxide Modulates Fracture Healing
Light Therapy & Nitric Oxide “The Miracle Molecule”
In order to understand how Light Therapy affects the body on a biological level, you need to know about Nitric Oxide (NO). In 1998 the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Robert F. Furchgott, Louis J. Ignarro and Ferid Murad "for their discoveries concerning Nitric Oxide as a signalling molecule in the cardiovascular system." They discovered that the NO molecule influences every physiological activity of the body and that it is absolutely essential for improving … [Read more...] about Light Therapy & Nitric Oxide “The Miracle Molecule”
