Applications of red and near infrared LED light with diverse pulsing frequencies over the head and on the nose were proven effective in improving the cognitive capability of the Alzheimer's disease patients. A protocol for clinical trial for the patients with Alzheimer’s disease using flexible LED photobiomodulation therapy devices with 660nm, 850nm, and 940nm LEDs over the head, nose, neck, and abdominal area with 40Hz light pulsing frequency is described for this case study.
Photobiomodulation using light from red and near infrared LEDs or Lasers have been reported effective as noninvasive methods for fat loss. A total of 55 subjects were randomly divided into test groups and control groups for abdominal fat reduction clinical trial using red and near infrared LED phototherapy devices. Red and near infrared light with irradiance of 10 mW/cm2 were irradiated over the abdominal area to the test group for 30 minutes at 3 times a week followed by 3 times of 30 minutes of aerobic exercise a week for 4 weeks. Control group used sham devices for 30 minutes 3 times a week and followed by 3 times of 30 minutes of aerobic exercise a week for 4 weeks. It was shown that red and near infrared LED phototherapy combined with aerobic exercise was effective and safe for abdominal fat loss without any side effects.
Low level light therapy (LLLT) using light from red and near infrared LEDs or Lasers have been reported effective as noninvasive methods for reducing spot fat. A total of 55 subjects were randomly divided into test groups and control groups for abdominal fat reduction clinical trial using red and near infrared LED phototherapy devices. Red and near infrared light with irradiance of 10 mW/cm2 were irradiated over the abdominal area to the test group for 30 minutes followed by 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, 3 times a week for 4 weeks. Control group used sham devices for 30 minutes and followed by 30 minutes of aerobic exercise. It is expected that red and near infrared LED phototherapy combined with aerobic exercise would be effective and safe for abdominal fat reduction without any side effects.
