built 502 days ago
A study by Hall [E31] is confidently entitled "Low level laser therapy is ineffective in the management of rheumatoid arthritic finger joints". Such a title suggests that all reasonable parameters (wavelengths, doses, pulsing, etc.) have been checked and are kept properly under control. One of the probes used is a so-called cluster probe having a 15 mW GaAlAs laser diode surrounded by 30 non-coherent light-emitting diodes of three different wavelengths. Which wavelength was effective, which was ineffective, and did any particular wavelength have a detrimental effect on the overall result?
