ET- B receptors involvement in peripheral opioid analgesia induced by light-emitting diode photobiomodulation in male and female mice

What the authors concluded

PBMT at an irradiance of 90 mW/cm2, was more effective than 3.5 mW/cm2. Bq-788 and naloxone administration prevented the effects of PBMT and SRTX S6c; however, PBMT did not influence peripheral ETB-Rs immunocontent. The results suggest that irradiance influences PMBT effect; and that activation of ETB-R play a role in peripheral PBMT opioid induced analgesia. Lastly, PMBT effects do not appear t

Devices that emit this wavelength

Matched on wavelength within 15nm, since LED bins vary by roughly that much and a tighter match would be false precision. Where we have an irradiance figure, the session length is the time needed to reach this study's dose of 2 J/cm² at that intensity.

Matching a wavelength is not the same as reproducing a trial. Session times assume the device's published irradiance is accurate at the distance it was measured, which on brand-claim figures is often optimistic. Where a device publishes both a peak and an average we use the average, and where it publishes a falloff curve we use the lowest figure, so these times run long rather than short. Clinical protocols also control for spot size, contact and skin type in ways a home device cannot.
