Therapeutic Effects of Photobiomodulation Combined with Exercise on Patients with Peripheral Artery Disease Plus Diabetic Foot Ulcer: A Pilot and Feasibility Study

What the authors concluded

PBMT combined with exercise improved wound healing and walking capacity compared with baseline; however, no significant between-group differences were observed." Comment: Small sample size. Large baseline differences between the groups.

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 4.5 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.
