Highlights Laser needle acupuncture was associated with measurable changes in brain-related signals, including cerebral blood flow and fMRI activation patterns. Because the stimulation is typically imperceptible, researchers can run true...
Highlights Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) involves neurovascular dysfunction and chronic pain. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) improved nerve conduction and microcirculation. Laser-treated patients experienced greater pain reduction than controls. Improvements were...
Highlights In a study of healthy older women, transcranial LED light therapy was linked to increases in brain blood-flow speed in specific arteries. The clearest changes were seen in the...
Highlights In this case report, a middle-aged adult with persistent low back pain reported a complete reduction in pain after a short PBM treatment series. Treatment used dual-wavelength red +...
Highlights Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a non-thermal light therapy using red and near-infrared wavelengths. PBM acts primarily at the mitochondrial level, especially on cytochrome c oxidase. The therapy modulates ATP production,...
Highlights Shoulder and neck pain are leading causes of musculoskeletal disability. PBM therapy shows consistent benefits for pain relief and functional improvement. Infrared wavelengths were most commonly used across clinical...
Highlights Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) causes pain, numbness, tingling, and reduced hand strength. A single session of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) produced immediate and short-term symptom relief. Significant improvements were...
Highlights In a mouse model of inflammatory pain, Class 3B laser photobiomodulation (PBM) reduced pain sensitivity in a dose-dependent The strongest and most consistent effects were seen at mid-range doses...
Highlights The gut microbiota plays a central role in immune regulation, inflammation, and brain function through the gut–brain axis. Intestinal dysbiosis contributes to neuroinflammation and increased blood–brain barrier permeability. Photobiomodulation...
Highlights Laser photobiomodulation (PBM) is a non-invasive therapy that modulates cellular metabolism, inflammation, and oxidative stress. A clinical study conducted at UNISUL (Brazil) is investigating PBM effects on the gut–brain...
