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.
