Proposed Mechanisms of Photobiomodulation or Low-Level Light Therapy. [PDF]

IEEE J Sel Top Quantum Electron, 2016
Photobiomodulation (PBM) also known as low-level laser (or light) therapy (LLLT), has been known for almost 50 years but still has not gained widespread acceptance, largely due to uncertainty about the molecular, cellular, and tissular mechanisms of action.

Effect of pulsing in low‐level light therapy [PDF]

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, 2010
AbstractBackground and ObjectiveLow level light (or laser) therapy (LLLT) is a rapidly growing modality used in physical therapy, chiropractic, sports medicine and increasingly in mainstream medicine. LLLT is used to increase wound healing and tissue regeneration, to relieve pain and inflammation, to prevent tissue death, to mitigate degeneration in ...

The Effect of Low-Level Light Therapy on Capsaicin-Induced Peripheral and Central Sensitization in Healthy Volunteers: A Double-Blinded, Randomized, Sham-Controlled Trial [PDF]

Pain and Therapy, 2020
Introduction Several clinical trials have demonstrated that low-level light therapy (LLLT), a method of photobiomodulation, is an effective analgetic treatment. However, the mechanism of action has not yet been finally clarified.

Biphasic Dose Response in Low Level Light Therapy – an Update

Dose-Response, 2011
Low-level laser (light) therapy (LLLT) has been known since 1967 but still remains controversial due to incomplete understanding of the basic mechanisms and the selection of inappropriate dosimetric parameters that led to negative studies.

Low-level light therapy reduces platelet destruction during extracorporeal circulation. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2018
AbstractExtracorporeal circulation causes many deleterious effects on blood cells. Low-level light therapy (LLLT) in the red/near-infrared spectral range is known for its cytoprotective properties but its use during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has not yet been studied. We aimed to assess whether LLLT protects platelets during CPB.

Low-Level Light/Laser Therapy Versus Photobiomodulation Therapy [PDF]

Photomedicine and Laser Surgery, 2015
As Juliet states: “What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”1 However, a name, if ill-conceived and lacking a clear definition, can have profound effects on the image and acceptance of a therapy by mainstream medicine. Sunlight has much anecdotal use in ancient scriptures.
