A 49-year male patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic foot syndrome was evaluated by comprehensive diabetic foot assessment. Photobiomodulation therapy (low-level laser therapy) was prescribed for neuropathic pain and symptoms with scanning and probe method for 10 sessions. Customized insoles were recommended for redistributing the plantar pressures and reducing stress on the diabe...

BACKGROUND Numerous strategies have been proposed to decrease the treatment time a patient requires in orthodontic treatment. Recently, a number of device-accelerated therapies have emerged in orthodontics. Photobiomodulation is an emerging area of science that has clinical applications in a number of human biological processes. The aim of this study was to determine if photobiomodulation reduc...

Photobiomodulation by light in the red to near infrared range (630-1000 nm) using low energy lasers or light-emitting diode (LED) arrays has been shown to accelerate wound healing, improve recovery from ischemic injury in the heart and attenuate degeneration in the injured optic nerve. Recent evidence indicates that the therapeutic effects of red to near infrared light result, in part, from int...

BACKGROUND Envenoming induced by Bothrops snakebites is characterized by drastic local tissue damage that involves an intense inflammatory reaction and local hyperalgesia which are not neutralized by conventional antivenom treatment. Herein, the effectiveness of photobiomodulation to reduce inflammatory hyperalgesia induced by Bothrops moojeni venom (Bmv), as well as the mechanisms involved was...

BACKGROUND Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is the most commonly studied animal model of multiple sclerosis (MS), a chronic autoimmune demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system. Immunomodulatory and immunosuppressive therapies currently approved for the treatment of MS slow disease progression, but do not prevent it. A growing body of evidence suggests additional mecha...

The interaction of photons with cells is a necessary and essential condition for photobiomodulation to occur. Absorption and transduction of this energy must occur and it is well known that cellular molecules and structures are capable of absorbing this energy at various wavelengths. It is also known that transmission of some portion of the incident light occurs depending upon the wavelength, t...

The most fascinating aspect of science is that there is no permanence; today’s facts are tomorrow’s fallacies. A passage through the annals of the history of medicine showcases fascinating, often gruesome, images of crude surgical procedures and over-simplistic pharmacological ‘‘alchemy’’ that were all held to the epitome of scientific evidence for its time: clinical efficacy, that is, it works...

There is no effective treatment to halt peripheral nervous system damage in diabetic neuropathy. Mitochondria have been at the center of discussions as important factors development neuropathy diabetes. Photobiomodulation has gaining clinical acceptance it shows beneficial effects on a variety disorders. In this study, photobiomodulation (904 nm, 45 mW, 6.23 J/cm2, 0.13 cm2, 60 ns pulsed time) ...
