Photobiomodulation Controls the Expression of Lipoxin Receptors, Promoting the Resolution of the Inflammatory Process in an Experimental Tendinitis Model

The protocol this study used
What the authors concluded
PBM enhanced ALX and TGF-β expression (p < 0.001) and maintenance of COX-2 similar to the NT group, suggesting lipoxin involvement in inflammation resolution. These findings highlight PBM as a promising therapy for tendinopathies by targeting both inflammatory and resolution pathways.
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 64 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.
