I am interesting for research labor for LLLT and other light therapy in bone healing, pressure and diabetic ulcers. Can I work one project with your support. I have some research in treatment of pain, pressure ulcer and bone healing with LLLT and polarization light.
We collaborate with research in healing in bone in experimental models with LLLT but not in diabetic animals. we observed a better collagen organization with skin in diabetic animals and we believe that these results could be extrapolled for bone tissue
I have used laser in clinical setting on almost every medical conditions I have came across. Surely wound healing is one of the best application for laser therapy including bone healing. Bone fractures usually heal in half a time and after 3 weeks cast can be removed. Obviously the best effect is seen on patients that normally wouldn't heal well because of diabetes, ischemia, pressure ulcers. Diabetic toes even clinically "dead" with black appearance can be saved with laser therapy which I observed many times. This make sense if one take into consideration the uncoupling effect of laser therapy from oxygen utilization and to some degree of Crebs cycle". You will see normalization of cellular function that even temporary, reverse death spiral of ischemia.
I am also strong believer in high power pulse laser with high density beam.
Any questions, I will be happy to answer.
I have used anodyne therapy in many patients. In my experience I see not difference in healing rates in the patients using this device vs those who are not. I have seen some patients with severe neurpathic pain get some relief with this therapy. I am no sure if it is psychosomatic or validated improvement. Large, well-designed clinical trials are needed to demonstrate the effectiveness of LLLT for the proposed conditions
