Great news for elderly patients with degenerative osteoarthritis of the knee! this article discusses the potential benefits of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in the treatment of osteoarthritis. The authors highlight that current treatments for osteoarthritis, such as analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), come with significant risks of adverse effects. LLLT, on the other hand, is a promising alternative approach that has shown therapeutic efficacy in osteoarthritis without known side effects. The study mentioned in the article used a rat model of osteoarthritis induced by injecting the enzyme papain into...

Great news for elderly patients with degenerative osteoarthritis of the knee! A study  "Mechanisms and Pathways of Pain Photobiomodulation” discusses the use of phototherapy, specifically light exposure, for the management of pain. It explores the different wavelengths, intensities, and routes of exposure used in phototherapy and how they affect pain conditions. The authors highlight that red light applied to the skin can reduce pain in neuropathies and complex regional pain syndrome, while visual exposure to the same wavelength of red light can exacerbate migraine headaches and induce functional pain in...

Great news for patients with arthritis! A Clinical Trial in This article summarizes the findings of a study that aimed to evaluate the effects of low-power light therapy on pain and disability in elderly patients with degenerative osteoarthritis of the knee. The study was a partially double-blinded, fully randomized trial that compared red, infrared, and placebo light emitters. Fifty patients with degenerative osteoarthritis of both knees were randomly assigned to three treatment groups: red (15 patients), infrared (18 patients), and placebo (17 patients). The infrared and placebo emitters were double-blinded....

This article presents a detailed protocol for a randomized controlled trial that aims to investigate the efficacy of phototherapy in reducing periocular wrinkles using red and amber LED lights. The study focuses on the aging process of the skin, particularly the effects of intrinsic and extrinsic factors, including solar radiation, on cellular aging and skin aging. The skin undergoes morphological and physiological changes as an individual ages, leading to various signs of aging, including increased skin flaccidity, thickening, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, and even skin cancer. To address these issues, numerous treatments...

Temporomandibular dysfunction syndrome (TMD is a common disorder of the temporomandibular joint. The most observed symptoms of the diseases are pain, clicking or popping sounds in the jaw, difficulty in jaw movements, and teeth sensitivity. Other symptoms are headaches, pain surrounding the eyes, neck pains and trismus. Patients who suffer from temporomandibular dysfunction syndrome face constant discomfort; this deters and negatively affects their productivity and overall living conditions.  Over the years, medical professionals have utilized several methods in an attempt to relieve the painful symptoms of temporomandibular dysfunction syndrome among...

Achilles tendinitis is inflammation of the Achilles (uh-KIL-eez) tendon, the group of tissue that links leg muscles at the back of the bottom leg to your heel bone. Achilles tendinitis is usually a running injury or other sport-related trauma resulting from too much use, intensive activity, bouncing, or other actions that will strain the tendon and leg muscles. Many cases of Achilles tendinitis is treatable with the help of persistent, relatively simple, at-home treatment under your doctor's guidance. Self-care techniques usually are needed to avoid repeated symptoms. Serious incidents of...

Patellar tendinitis is usually an injury which affects the tendon linking your kneecap (patella) to your shinbone. The patellar tendon performs a crucial function in the way you use your legs. It helps your muscles extend your lower leg to be able to kick a ball, push the pedals on your bicycle and jump up in the air. Patellar tendinitis is most common in active people whose sports involve regular leaping, for example, basketball, soccer and volleyball players. For this reason, patellar tendinitis is commonly known as jumper's knee. However,...

In Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, severe numbness is experienced by the patient. This is brought about by the compression of the nerve that passes through the carpal tunnel in the wrist called the median nerve. The carpal tunnel is like a hallway and along with the median nerve, nine tendons, called the “Flexor Tendons” traverse in it. In cases of severe physical activities, any or some of the nine tendons gets inflamed and swells, it then takes up a bigger space within the carpal tunnel, causing the median nerve to get...
