Abstract
Previous meta-analyses of photobiomodulation (PBM) parameters have reported correlations between effect size and emitter parameters, but the trends are not robust enough to prospectively predict doses that will yield a significant effect. A meta-analysis of PBM dosing protocols on peripheral nerves with 800 – 840 nm wavelength light was performed using Monte Carlo photon propagation models to elucidate clearer trends between dose and effect. We then tested various doses of PBM applied directly at exposed hindlimb nerve in a rodent pain model. A single application of PBM at the nerve reduced pain associated with heat-sensitive fibers for approximately 7 days.
