Reversal of allodynia and enhanced tendon repair in rats via 660 and 808 nm photobiomodulation

What the authors concluded

Our results demonstrated that collagenase injection induced mechanical allodynia and cold hypersensitivity, both of which were reversed by PBM at both 660 and 808 nm wavelengths (**p < 0.005 and *p < 0.05). Additionally, TP led to an increase in collagen type III and a decrease in collagen type I expression, with these effects being reversed by PBM treatment (*p < 0.05). Moreover, TP increased

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 107.14 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.
