Clinical Perspectives, Stephanie Stover sits down with James Carroll to explore photobiomodulation
What if the right wavelength and dose could actually influence how cells respond to injury, inflammation, and stress?
In this episode of Clinical Perspectives, Stephanie Stover sits down with James Carroll, CEO and founder of THOR Photomedicine, to explore Photobiomodulation— more commonly known as red light therapy — and the decades of research, engineering, and persistence behind it.

James Carroll training live in Bucharest
James Carroll, founder of THOR, running his Photobiomodulation training course in Bucharest for staff of Innovation Medical Center and Expert Laser Center. James, a true visionary and pioneer of Photobiomodulation therapy has dedicated the last 39 years to advancing and understanding this field and contributed enormously to the development of Photobiomodulation worldwide.
Below are two videos from the training day.

James Carroll interviewed on The PEMF Podcast about Photobiomodulation
The interview starts at 1:30 minute mark.
The PEMF Podcast sat down with James Carroll, a Photobiomodulation (PBM) pioneer with nearly 40 years in the field, to separate real science from marketing hype. From irradiance and wavelength selection to dose-response curves and proper measurement standards, James explains why many popular consumer devices fail to deliver therapeutic levels of light despite impressive claims.
Questions James was asked: Are red light masks, blankets and handheld wands actually doing anything? Or are most people underdosing without realising it?
The PEMF Podcast dive into what photobiomodulation really means (and why it’s not just “red light therapy”), the three core biological mechanisms behind its effects, and why anti-inflammatory outcomes are the most consistently supported in the research. James also shares inside insights from testing popular devices, discusses why masks and blankets often miss the mark, and explains how proper dosing is more like cooking than simply multiplying power by time. A must-listen for anyone serious about red and near-infrared light therapy especially before buying your next device.

Whole body Photobiomodulation for fibromyalgia and other pain syndromes, James Carroll at Float Conference
Seven and a half million Americans suffer from an “incurable” pain called Fibromyalgia (FM). FM is a widespread hypersensitive chronic muscle pain; patients also experience chronic fatigue and sleeping problems.
Photobiomodulation (PBM) is the medical application of light and has been clinically proven to reduce inflammation and pain wherever the beam is applied.
The following study, presented at the British Pain Society in June 2022, showed that whole body Photobiomodulation substantially relieved pain and other symptoms of fibromyalgia. Forty-two fibromyalgia patients participated in the triple-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial and were randomized to receive a NovoTHOR treatment (or a placebo NovoTHOR treatment) for 20 minutes, three times a week, for four weeks.
At the end of the study, there was a statistically significant reduction in pain and a statistically significant improvement in Quality of Life in the active NovoTHOR group. Psychological factors (kinesiophobia, self-efficacy) also improved. The authors concluded that NovoTHOR whole-body PBM is a safe, effective, drug-free treatment for fibromyalgia.
