Low Level Laser Clinical Applications and Data

Clinical Applications and Programs

Laser Therapeutics is conducting clinical trials concentrating on musculoskeletal and sports injuries, skin conditions, smoke cessation and weight loss. These trials are geared toward achieving FDA approval for these conditions for our lasers and are being conducted at various centers both in the U.S. and internationally. We believe that the results of these trials will bring the hope of longer life to millions of people. If you are a medical professional including M.D., D.O., D.C., Licensed Physical Therapist and other related professionals and would like to be a part of this exciting field, contact Julie Foshay at Laser Therapeutics at 978-335-5366 for more information.

Clinical Applications
There is a large body of research to be found on the clinical effects of low level laser. Omega Laser Systems, our U.K. Partner, and all of our manufacturing partners maintain extensive libraries as it relates to all areas of clinical research and its relevance to the practicing clinician. Many of their colleagues who are currently involved in the ever-increasing areas of low level applications regularly contribute to this growing database of information. In this respect a large volume of controlled research has been carried out in United Kingdom centers of excellence such as: Middlesex University, Guy's Hospital Tissue Repair Unit, Oxford University, Ulster University, Cambridge Military Hospital, Northampton School of Podiatry and many more institutions.

Clinical Case Studies Demonstrating the range of applications in which Omega Laser Systems low level laser equipment has been used
Mosaic Verrucae- Clinical Investigation Only
	Female who had suffered from mosaic verccuae for eleven years before treatment with LLLT. Treatment period was between 24th February to 17th March with two treatments per week being administered using the cluster probe.

Acne -Clinical Investigation Only
	Female patient with a long history of acne. Cluster probe was used for whole treatment with 5 points treated - two minutes per point. The pulsing frequencies ranged between 2.5, 10 and 20 Hz. Before and after picture shows patient after only two treatments over a one-week period. Less reddening -- decrease in size of acne pustule and general improvement in overall quality of skin.

Leg Ulceration- Clinical Investigation Only
	Female patient in nursing / residential home. History of total 23 years leg ulceration. Treated using Florozene and Aliginate dressings. LLLT treatment protocol - cluster probe with Low, Medium and High range of frequency pulsing. Treatment 2 minutes per point. Patient reported being pain free relatively early on in treatment but complete healing of chronic leg ulceration took a total of 9 months (four month break due to illness). Result: quickly able to socialize, no pain and completely healed.

Herpes Labilias-Clinical Investigation Only
	8 year old girl attending casualty due to parents' considerable concern as child in great pain and no longer able to eat. 660nm Omega probe used to treat around the lips at each affected point. 30 second per point for a total treatment time of 5 minutes at 20Hz (high frequency). Top-left picture shows before treatment. Bottom-left picture shows two days after treatment. Response: pain relief was immediate which proved relief as child stopped crying and parents took her home where she began eating.

Rheumatoid Arthritis-Clinical Investigation Only
	50 year old female patient diagnosed as having Class 3 RA inflammatory phase of steady development. Probes used in treatments were 820nm (50mW) and 31 cluster probe with the 820nm probe being administered on each interphalangial joint (30 seconds per point) followed by the cluster (one minute) over the whole hand. The pulsing frequency was 20 Hz and administration of treatment three times per week. Total number of treatments were 12 over a one month period. Comments: Picture 1: Condition as start of treatment - note the extent of inflammation indicated by yellow Picture 2: After 6 treatments as outlined above Picture 3: After 13 treatments You can see the improvement in treatment of condition and the third picture shows the progress at 13 treatments. After 6 months follow up it was found the initial inflammation was beginning to creep back, but the overall condition was much improved in comparison with the original status of patient with no LLLT treatment.

Research Studies
Laser Therapeutics has an extensive library of research papers that are available to our centers. The papers cover all areas of low level laser therapy including animal and human studies.
