Photobiomodulation (PBM), also known as Low-level Laser Therapy (LLLT), involves the use of light from a laser or light-emitting diode (LED) in treatment various disorders and it has recently gained increasing interest. Progressive neuronal loss with attendant consequences such cognitive and/or motor decline characterize neurodegenerative diseases. The available therapeutic drugs have only been...

Photobiomodulation (PBM), also commonly referred to as low level laser therapy (LLLT) or cold laser therapy uses light energy to elicit biological responses from the cell and normalize cell function. Numerous studies have shown that LLLT affects the mitochondria of the cell, primarily Cytochrome coxidase in the electron transfer chain and porphyrins on the cell membrane. When light photons are ...

Laser Phototherapy (LPT) is an effective tool to stimulate bone. A series of promising protocols developed by our group are presented. Our results show that the use of IR laser results on increased bone neorformation. LPT effect depends not only on the total dose, but also on both irradiation time and mode. Energy density and intensity are biologically independent and accounts for the success a...

Peripheral muscle fatigue is a common experience in daily life. Every individual at some point their life has realized the inability to maintain contraction, phenomenon known as fatigue. Interestingly, neurological patients with peripheral sequelae such spastic contraction are able remain pattern of for prolonged periods. The effects laser therapy already recognized delay skeletal fatigue, prol...
