Photobiomodulation induces antinociception, recovers structural aspects and regulates mitochondrial homeostasis in peripheral nerve of diabetic mice
PBM-induced antinociception in neuropathic-pain mice was dependent on central opioids release. After 21 consecutive applications, PBM increased nerve growth factor levels and induced structural recovery increasing mitochondrial content and regulating Parkin in the sciatic nerve of DPN-mice. Taking together, these data provide new insights into the mechanisms involved in the effects of PBM-therapy emphasizing its therapeutic potential in the treatment of DPN.
OPEN FILEEffect of low level laser therapy on neurovascular function of diabetic peripheral neuropathy
Diabetic neuropathy is the most common complication and greatest source of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. Thirty male and female patients with painful diabetic neuropathy and abnormal results from nerve conduction studies participated in this study
OPEN FILEEffect of deep tissue laser therapy treatment on peripheral neuropathic pain in older adults with type 2 diabetes: a pilot randomized clinical trial
Conclusions: Deep tissue laser therapy significantly reduced pain and improved the quality of life of older patients with painful diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
OPEN FILEThe Mechanistic Basis for Photobiomodulation Therapy of Neuropathic Pain by Near Infrared Laser Light
Conclusion: These in vitro and in vivo studies indicate that treatment with an irradiance/fluence rate at 270mW/ cm2 or higher at the level of the nerve can rapidly block pain transmission. A combination therapy is proposed to treat neuropathic pain with initial high irradiance/fluence rates for fast pain relief, followed by low irradiance/fluence rates for prolonged pain relief by altering chronic inflammation.

Conclusion and relevance. Among patients with CIPN, PBM produced significant reduction in neuropathy symptoms.
OPEN FILEEffect of photobiomodulation therapy (808 nm) in the control of neuropathic pain in mice
Neuropathic pain can be defined as the pain initiated or caused by a primary lesion or dysfunction of the central or peripheral nervous system. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBM) stands out among the physical therapy resources used for analgesia.
