Effects of Class IV Laser Therapy on Disease Impact and Function in Women with Fibromyalgia


Objectives:
This study evaluated the effects of Class IV laser therapy on pain, Fibromyalgia (FM) impact, and physical function in women diagnosed with FM.
Design:
The study was a double-blind, randomized control trial.
Setting:
Testing was completely at the university and Rheumatologist office and treatment was completed at a chiropractic clinic.
Participants:
Thirty-eight (38) women (52+/- 11 years; mean+/- standard deviation) with FM were randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups, laser heat therapy (LHT; n=20) or sham heat therapy (SHT; n=18).
Intervention:
Both groups received treatment twice a week for 4 weeks. Treatment consisted of application of LHT or SHT over seven tender points located across the neck, shoulders, and back. Treatment was blinded to women and was administered by a chiropractic physician for 7 minutes.
Outcome Measures:
Participants were evaluated before and after treatment for number and sensitivity of tender points, completed the FM Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) and the pain question of FIQ, and were measured for function using the continuous scale physical functional performance (CS-PFP) test. Data wew evaluated using repeated at P</=0.05.
Conclusions: 
This study provides evidence that LHT may be a benificial modality for women with FM in order to improve pain and upper body range of motion, ultimately reducing the impact of FM.

How the Gbox 1064nm treat the nail fungus?

The Gbox 1064nm diode laser delivers the wavelength of 1064 nm (near infrared) is used
in patients with onychomycosis. It allows an easy treatment to eradicate nail
fungus as well as an achieving of a augmented increase of clear nails. The
laser radiation penetrates the nail plate and reaches the nail bed where the
pathogens are sited. The nail or the surrounding skin don't get hurt thereby.
Only in the nail bed gets the laser radiation absorbed by the pathogens and
the circumjacent tissue. The absorption of the radiation entails a warming of
the cell structures. The cell walls get damaged and the cells die, a further
growth is therefore stopped.

How Laser Therapy Works?

Cells that are damaged and poorly oxygenated as
a result of inflammation, swelling or trauma have
been shown to have a significantly higher response
to laser therapy than normal healthy cells.
At a cellular level there are photoreceptors that,
when stimulated by the laser's deep penetrating
photons, activate a biochemical cascade of events
resulting in increased DNA/ RNA synthesis, increased
cAMP levels, protein and collagen synthesis, endorphins
and cellular proliferation. The result of these reactions
is rapid tissue regeneration, significantly reduced pain
and inflammation and healing of damaged cellular tissue.
Photonic stimulation is the trigger for these metabolic
changes making it a true healing modality.

Keywords: Prostate; Cysts; Laser; Transurethral

Abbreviations: LUTS: Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms; IPSS:
International Prostate Symptoms Score; QOL: Quality of Life;
KUB: Kidney Ureter Bladder; TRUS: Trans Rectal UltraSound; CT:
Compuerized Tomography; MRI: Magnetic Resonance Imaging; DRE:
Digital Rectal Examination

Case Report
A 43 years old gentleman presented to our clinic with complaints
of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The symptoms were straining
to pass urine, dysuria, frequency, urgency discomfort in inguinal and
abdominal region. Decrease in flow was severe that he strained to
maintain a flow and had frequency every one hour. All his symptoms
were present since 1year but severe since 3 months. He is a known
diabetic on regular oral hypoglycemic agents since 10 years. DRE was
done in the clinic and was normal with normal prostate size and no
tenderness. Urine analysis and culture came out to be normal. Serum
total PSA test was 0.5 ng/ml. International Prostate Symptoms Score
(IPSS) at presentation was 28 and Quality of Life score (QOL) was 6 at
presentation.

Ultra Sound Scan KUB showed both kidneys are of average size,
shape with regular outline, no evidence of masses, back pressure or
cystic changes. Good cortico-medullary differentiation and adequate
parenchymal thickness. No evidence of free or loculated intraperitoneal
or pelvic fluid collections. The maximum capacity of
the urinary bladder was 500 ml with no masses or calculi. Post void
residual urine was significant at 240 ml. Prostate was of average size
(2.87×3.09×3.26-15.138 cc) (Figure 1) but with an anechoic oval
lesion with thin and smooth walls near the midline very close to the
bladder neckprobably a prostate cyst. The size of the prostate cyst was
1.06×1.14×1.59 (Figures 2 and 3).
Uroflowmetry showed a max flow of 5.7 ml/sec and a mean flow of
2.7 ml/sec for a voided volume of 230 ml. (Figure 4). The impression
was a bladder outlet obstruction due to a Prostate cyst or a bladder neck
hyper trophy.

Diode Laser Treat Onychomycosis

What is onychomycosis?

Onychomycosis is a non-life threatening infection of the nails caused predominantly by the
dermatophytes Trichophyton rubrum, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, and Epidermophyton floccosum,
and to a lesser extent by yeasts (e.g., Candida species) and non-dermatophytic molds.

Although visual changes are often observed in the nail, a proper diagnosis using a test designed to detect the
presence of nail fungus is often performed to rule out other causes for the nail’s changed appearance.

The worldwide prevalence of onychomycosis is up to 5%, and the risk of infection increases
with age. Treatment options include topical antifungal medications, nail removal, oral antifungal
medications, and lasers.

 The choice of therapy depends on the disease severity, previous treatments,
other medications the patient is taking, physician or patient preference, and cost.

With rising patient awareness, the global market for treatment of onychomycosis is increasing and in 2010 was estimated to be $3.6 billion (Podiatry Today).

Podiatry-1064nm Laser Treatment of Nail Fungus



The use of laser in podiatry is not new. For years lasers have been used safely on the foot for several
conditions. Although the 1064 laser is FDA approved for the temporary clearing of nails, new lasers are
now being used to treat nail fungus. These lasers have some advantages and are approved by the FDA
for many other treatments but laser treatment of nail fungus is considered an "off label use".
The ability of the 1064 laser energy to gently heat the nail bed makes it ideal for the safe and effective
desired result of nail clearing. The effects of 1064 nanometer laser energy on nail fungi are two fold and
understood in relation to cellular chemical reactions within fungal cells that are necessary for fungal growth
and survival. The photo-thermal effect changes cellular metabolism and at increased temperature (42°C), cell components are damaged and metabolism is altered. Clinicians report a photo-chemical effect that further compromises fungal cell enzymes and proteins. Lipids in cell membranes are
changed in structure and their function of protecting and regulating the internal environment of the cell
becomes further compromised resulting in fungal death and nail clearance.
Podiatrists experienced with clinically treating onychomycosis have come to the conclusion that the treatment
of fungal nails is a process and the prevention of reinfection is critical to achieving success.
Laser is an excellent choice for patients who do not want to risk taking oral medications.

Deep Tissue Laser Therapy for Plantar Fasciitis

Deep tissue laser is able to penetrate deep into the plantar fascia and repair damaged cells. Laser light is actually attracted to damaged cells, so it goes where it is needed most. Deep tissue laser will also increase circulation, and reduce inflammation and pain. 
Deep tissue laser sessions can accelerate the healing of plantar fasciitis and help get you back on your feet quicker than conventioanl treatment methods.

Deep tissue laser therapy is the main cog in the plantar fasciitis treatment wheel, as it speeds up the healing process and makes everything happen much quicker.

Surgery to Remove Plantar Warts

Laser Surgery: In this surgical method, the wart is burned using a strong and focused beam of light. It is a surgical method that guarantees less scars on the skin after treatment. You may have to pay a few visits to the clinic. The pain after the treatment is almost negligible but you may feel some amount of redness or swelling on the skin for a few days. 

Electro Surgery: This method involves burning of the wart with the use of electric current. For this process, you may have to pay frequent visits to the clinic depending on the size of the wart. Smaller the size, lesser the visits. This method too is known to leave less and mild scars after the treatment. The pain subsides after some time.

Curettage: This method involves, cutting the wart with a sterilized sharp knife. As this method involves cutting the wart from skin, it may cause a significant amount of pain, during and after the treatment. The pain may persist till the wound is healed completely. This method is relatively cheap, as cutting the wart requires only one session.

Cryotherapy: This is another method, in which the wart is frozen with liquid nitrogen. This acts similar to duct tape. It prevents the virus from spreading and also kills the existing virus. This treatment is considered painless and does not leave scars. It takes 3-4 weeks to remove the wart but if the wart is bigger in size, it may take more time.

Plantar Warts

What is the plantar warts?
The common wart is known as verruca vulgaris. They are caused by a viral infection of the skin. This occurs as a result of direct contact with the virus. They do not spread through the blood stream. When they occur on the bottom of the foot, they are called plantar warts. 


Treatment
There are a variety of ways to treat warts. Professional treatment consists of burning the wart with topical acids, freezing with liquid nitrogen, laser surgery or cutting them out. All methods have the possibility of the wart coming back. Surgical excision of the wart has the highest success rate with a relatively low rate of recurrence. There is some mild discomfort with this procedure and it takes several weeks for the area to completely heal. Normal activity can generally be resumed in a few days depending on the size and number of warts that have been removed. 


Freezing the wart with liquid nitrogen is another form of treatment. This form of treatment when the warts are on the bottom of the foot can be very painful and take several days or weeks to heal.




Topical acids can also be a useful means of treating warts. The advantage to this form of treatment is the fact that they are nearly painless and there is no restriction of activity. The down side to this form of treatment is that it frequently requires several treatments and the failure rate is higher than surgical excision of the wart.
