The Effect of High-Intensity Versus Low-Level Laser Therapy in the Management of Plantar Fasciitis: Randomized Participant Blind Controlled Trial

Naruseviciute & Kubilius · Clin Rehabil · 2020

The protocol this study used

Wavelength
785, 1064 nm
Dose
4 J/cm²
Sessions
8
Per session
6 min 40 sec

What the authors concluded

There was no statistically significant difference between the groups according to visual analogue scale (pain in general reduction in three weeks: 2.57(3.45) vs. 2.88(3.28) cm)

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 4 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.
