Laser vs LED results on muscle damage

BRAZIL. This study compared the effect of single-diode laser and LED cluster before heavy exercise. Only the LED cluster probe decreased post-exercise creatine kinase levels after the Wingate cycle test. This is not a  true comparison of Laser vs LED as the LED irradiance was lower, the total energy was higher and it covered  a larger area. Still the results for the LED are impressive and this paper adds more weight to the validity of LED treatments. Read on …

Nobel Prize for Low Level Laser Therapy

The guest editorial by Oshiro in this months Photomedicine journal reminds us that a Nobel Prize was awarded to Finsen for Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) almost a century ago (1903) for Lupus Vulgaris (a form of Tuberculosis). Of course it was not called LLLT back then as the laser had not been invented but the Photobiomodulation principles are the same.
