Literature Watch for December - 22 new papers
22 new papers for your review including; an RCT on OA knee, a systematic review of
treatment modalities for neurosensory deficit after lower third molar
surgery found LLLT provides significant improvement, a review article on transcranial LLLT for neurodegenerative diseases, biphasic response shown in normal and neoplastic cells (a comprehensive study by Farouk
Al-Watban with very interesting results), a Laser vs LED study on skin
flap viability, angiogenesis and mast cells (spoiler alert, LED wins),
treatment of dermatitis in 10 koi carp with 980nm laser!, and yet
another case of LLLT for burning mouth syndrome. As it happens, a
customer wrote just a minute ago to say that his patient with chronic burning mouth syndrome had rapid
resolution after just one LED
treatment which lasted 18 hours - something no other treatment has achieved for that patient - they are looking forwards to their next LED therapy session.
So what does biphasic dose response mean ? what is the difference between laser and LED? Come on a training course to find out; read the next section below for details.
In case you have not noticed, we study LLLT relentlessly. We use our growing knowledge to develop our training and improve treatments. Come see what we have learned since your last training
- What is the difference between the anti-inflammatory effects of LLLT, the healing and the analgesic mechanisms?
- Have you thought about treating lymphatics?
- Are you de-activating trigger points (and how does that work!) ?
- How much LLLT is enough, how much is too much ?
- Joules or J/cm2 - which is the right way to express dose and how is it calculated?
- Lasers or LEDs, red or infrared wavelengths, high or low power density, pulsed or continuous ?
- Treatment times and treatment intervals and when to expect a result.
- Safety, contraindications, adverse effects, regulations and reimbursement
It seems like a lot to learn in one day but we use videos, cartoons and a 50 page illustrated book to help you so very little note-taking is required. A certificate of attendance is provided.
Discounts for groups, repeat attendees and early registration.

The Bottom Line - Your phototherapy is not the same as mine
Lilach wrote to me this morning (if you are a regular at LLLT conferences you will know her) and in the dialogue she referred to the "phototherapy community". I had just downloaded 121 LLLT and other phototherapy papers for this monthly literature watch blog. I had to wade through 99 papers that were not LLLT in order to arrive at 22 that were. Many of those were phototherapy and I thought I should bring them to your attention:
- Phototherapy for Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia
- Phototherapy for Psoriasis and vitiligo (and many other skin problems)
- Phototherapy for Seasonal Effective Disorder or depression
- Phototherapy for Vitamin D deficiency
- Phototherapy for jet lag and sleep disorders
and to a greater or lesser degree these are already somewhat accepted in mainstream medicine.
Why is it that, and why is LLLT not yet accepted ?
