- Chronic pain
- Healing of wounds
- Tinnitus and nerve regeneration
- Soft-tissue injuries
Cold Laser Therapy (also known as soft-laser therapy)
Clinical Treatments
Clinical applications that show some potential of effectiveness include treating soft tissue injury, chronic pain, and wound healing. Less likely are effects on tinnitus and nerve regeneration. Resolution of viral and bacterial infections has been claimed, but no plausible mechanism for this has been proposed.
Mechanism
Specific wavelengths set at specific intensities of laser, LED or other sources of light are used to help regenerate tissue or treat injuries and pain.
