The effect of laser irradiation on wounded mycotoxin exposed human skin fibroblast cells

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), also referred to as photobiology or bio-stimulation, involves the application of low-power monochromatic and coherent light to injuries and lesions. LLLT is a treatment that utilises light of a single wavelength; it emits no heat, sound, or vibration. Instead of producing a thermal effect, LLLT acts via non-thermal or photochemical reactions…

Emerging Ionizing and Non-Ionizing Radiation for Treatment of Musculoskeletal Disorders and Malignancies

ABSTRACT Bone and soft‑tissue sarcoma constitute more than 20% of pediatric solid malignant cancers and almost 1% of adult solid malignant cancer. Musculoskeletal (MSK) disorders are the heterogeneous group of mesenchymal malignancies. Early diagnosis of these has a substantial effect on optimal treatment and quality of life of these patients. New applications and techniques have…

Efficacy of high intensity laser therapy in the treatment of male with osteopenia or osteoporosis: a randomized placebo-controlled trial

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of high intensity laser therapy, alone or combined with exercise on pain, health related quality of life and fall risk in male with osteopenia or osteoporosis. 100 male patients with osteopenia or osteoporosis participated in the study. They had T-scores ≤-1.5. Patients were randomly assigned…

Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Parkinson’s Disease—Near-Infrared Photobiomodulation as a Potential Therapeutic Strategy

As the main driver of energy production in eukaryotes, mitochondria are invariably implicated in disorders of cellular bioenergetics. Given that dopaminergic neurons affected in Parkinson’s disease (PD) are particularly susceptible to energy fluctuations by their high basal energy demand, it is not surprising to note that mitochondrial dysfunction has emerged as a compelling candidate underlying…

Applications of photobiomodulation in hearing research: from bench to clinic

Hearing loss is very common and economically burdensome. No accepted therapeutic modality for sensorineural hearing loss is yet available; most clinicians emphasize rehabilitation, placing hearing aids and cochlear implants. Photobiomodulation (PBM) employs light energy to enhance or modulate the activities of specific organs, and is a popular non-invasive therapy used to treat skin lesions and…

Photobiomodulation Therapy on Physiological and Performance Parameters During Running Tests

This study was aimed at verifying effects of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) with different energy doses (15, 30, and 60 J per site) on physiological and performance parameters during running tests. Fifteen male recreational runners participated in a crossover, randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled trial. They performed testing protocol in 5 sessions with different treatments: control, placebo,…

Phototherapy during treadmill training improves quadriceps performance in postmenopausal women

This study evaluated the effects of infrared-light-emitting diode (LED) during treadmill training on functional performance. Thirty postmenopausal women aged 50-60 years were randomly assigned to one of three groups and successfully completed the full study. The three groups were: (1) the LED group, which performed treadmill training associated with phototherapy (n = 10); (2) the…

Acute effects of photobiomodulation therapy and magnetic field on functional mobility in stroke survivors

This was a randomized, sham-controlled, triple-blind, crossover, clinical trial to identify the optimal energy delivered with a single application of the combination of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) combining different light sources (low-level laser therapy—LLLT and light emitting diode therapy—LEDT) and static magnetic field (sMF) in order to determine the acute effects on functional mobility of stroke survivors.…
