Pulsed vs Continuous Photobiomodulation: Does Delivery Mode Matter?

Highlights Pulsed and continuous photobiomodulation (PBM) may produce distinct biological effects. Pulsed light can reduce tissue heating while allowing higher peak power delivery. Evidence suggests pulsed PBM may enhance penetration and biological responses in some conditions. Multiple mechanisms have been proposed, including ion channel modulation and nitric oxide dynamics. Clinical evidence is heterogeneous, with both […]
