Abstract in brief

  • Low level laser therapy (LLLT), also known as photobiomodulation, originated in the 1960s after the discovery of lasers and has the potential to enhance wound healing while reducing pain, inflammation, and swelling.
  • The field now includes different light sources like LEDs and covers a broad spectrum of wavelengths, mainly in the red and near-infrared range, with the concept of a biphasic dose response guiding clinical use.
  • LLLT shows promise for treating various conditions, from injuries and diseases to serious illnesses like stroke and traumatic brain injury, with ongoing research including randomized controlled trials supporting its efficacy.]
