Abstract

Photobiomodulation (PBM) treatment using light-emitting diodes (LEDs) has become an attractive alternative to using lasers in recent years. Two arrays of 54 LEDs at 850 nm were used to apply PBM at three different irradiances for 5 minutes to the forearms of 11 human subjects in a placebo-controlled experiment. Near-infrared spectroscopy was used in vivo to track changes in hemoglobin and mitochondrial markers over the course of the treatments. A non-linear biphasic response in these markers was observed with respect to irradiance and time, which suggests that there is an optimal dosimetry for PBM treatment as theorized by the Arndt-Schultz Law.
