Highlights Low-level (LLLT) and high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) are both effective for musculoskeletal conditions. Current evidence does not support clear superiority of one modality over the other. LLLT may improve...
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...
Highlights Violet photobiomodulation (PBM ~405 nm) represents an emerging modality within visible-light PBM. Violet light demonstrates strong antimicrobial and antiviral activity across multiple pathogens. Biological effects include modulation of reactive...
Highlights: Preliminary, placebo-controlled pilot in rotating-shift firefighters (PBM n=3 vs placebo n=3): PBM was associated with better overall sleep quality (improved PSQI) across the intervention period. Broader well-being + quality-of-life...
Highlights Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the leading cause of dementia worldwide, and there is still no cure capable of stopping its progression. Traditional amyloid-focused drug strategies have shown limited cognitive...
Highlights Well tolerated at multiple settings: Participants tolerated low, medium, and high tPBM settings well. Side effects similar to sham: Reported symptoms were comparable to the “placebo” session. No meaningful...
Highlights A randomized, sham-controlled pilot trial tested whether pulsed near-infrared transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) could support symptoms in children with autism ages 2–6. Children received twice-weekly sessions for 8 weeks (about...
Highlights Parkinson’s disease (PD) affects more than 10 million people worldwide, causing tremor, stiffness, slowed movement, balance problems, and cognitive decline. A proof of concept clinical study by Liebert et...
Highlights Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a major cause of vision loss in diabetes and is driven by retinal fluid leakage. Shen et al. (2020) explored whether photobiomodulation (PBM) —...
Highlights Dementia affects millions of people worldwide and is a leading cause of disability in older adults. The aim of the study was to investigate whether regular transcranial and intranasal...
