Light and Laser Therapy For Autoimmune Disorders

According to the AARD, one in 5 Americans have autoimmune diseases. That's over 50 million people! Many autoimmune disorders have one thing in common:, inflammation. , When immune cells attack healthy tissue, it can cause inflammation and pain. Researchers have been studying ways to mitigate inflammation and pain in patients with autoimmune diseases with light and laser therapy. Read what they have to say!

General

"LLLT is a promising therapeutic, particularly for those diseases of skin and joints because they are most accessible to treatment. Indeed, the known mechanisms of LLLT support its use for anti-inflammatory purposes, as well as stimulation of tissue growth and repair . Although the standard of care for the majority of inflammatory diseases is immunosuppressive agents such as corticosteroids with undesirable toxicities, LLLT offers a unique approach by being non-invasive and incurring minimal side effects."

Chronic autoimmune thyroiditis

"The RCT showed evidence that LLLT promoted the following: (a) an improvement in thyroid function , as indicated by the reduction in the dose of LT4 used to treat hypothyroidism; (b) a reduction in serum anti-TPO concentrations; and (c) improvement in the echogenicity, volume, and thyroid vascularization pattern in CDU [6, 7]. Such results suggest that LLLT may be an interesting alternative for the treatment of CAT-induced hypothyroidism." SOURCE

Rheumatoid Arthritis

"We can conclude that LLLT is able to modulate inflammatory response both in early as well as in late progression stages of RA." SOURCE

Fibromyalgia (Not an autoimmune disease but a common comorbidity)

"After LLLT or sham treatment, the number of tender points was significantly reduced in both groups. However, all other fibromyalgia symptoms showed significant improvements after LLLT compared to placebo. LLLT provided relief from fibromyalgia symptoms in patients." SOURCE
