“Fabulously interesting course bringing advances in holistic approach of pain relief and swelling management. This was a very interactive course which I feel is the best way to learn. It might be beneficial to encourage more GPs to this training event–we practitioners are proactive but some GPs are a little slower on the uptake.

Very informative and well presented day. An absolute delight to meet so many professionals from such a diverse spectrum of life all working towards the same goal.”

Laser Treatment Halts Oral Mucositis in Its Tracks

Published article by Fran Lowry on Medscape. May 01, 2015.

Spa-like treatment with a cool, low-level laser, similar to that use for wrinkles, vanquishes oral mucositis, one of the most debilitating toxicities of cancer therapy.

“I have been an oncology nurse for over 25 years, and in those 25 years, there has been nothing that helps prevent or is effective against the treatment for oral mucositis, until now,” said Annette Quinn, RN, MSN, from the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute.

“Patients say they rank it higher than nausea and vomiting when it comes to adverse side effects, especially because we have good medications to control nausea and vomiting. But the low-level laser works better than we could have hoped,” Quinn told Medscape Medical News.

“As usual, another great meeting/course. Latest info on LLLT provided. It reinforces my data base/use of the LED/Laser.

More uses for LLLT explored. I am using the Thor device for more problems.

Am having great results treating peripheral neuropathy and postherpetic pain. Spine and knees doing well too. Thanks THOR!”

“Excellent course! Information backed by peer review research. James is an amazing speaker and his assistant Mark is extremely well organized and accommodating. Most of my questions were answered well and the ones that weren’t due to time constrictions I have sent to Mark who assures me he will answer. Trial of product at the site was fabulous. Well worth the time and money.”

Low-Level Laser Therapy Reduces the Incidence and Severity of Oral Mucositis | PracticeUpdate

Nurse personal experience + 32 trials (1505 patients) treated with LLLT for Oral mucositis presented at Oncology Nursing conference, read full article on PracticeUpdate.

April 23, 2015–Orlando, Florida–Low-level laser therapy has been shown to reduce the incidence and severity of oral mucositis significantly in patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy for head and neck cancer or stem cell transplantation. This result of an analysis of 32 prospective trials including 1505 patients was presented at the 40th Annual Oncology Nursing Symposium from April 23 – 26 in Orlando, Florida.

Annette Quinn, RN, MSN, of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, explained that oral mucositis is one of the most debilitating toxicities of cancer therapy. Nearly all patients with head and neck tumors treated with chemoradiotherapy, and 75% of those undergoing stem cell transplantation with total body irradiation experience some degree of oral mucositis. “Over the last decade,” said Ms. Quinn, “the prevalence of oral mucositis has risen due to new chemotherapy, the introduction of targeted agents, and the delivery of higher doses of radiation.”
