Has anyone used this for PD? I think it is also called low level laser therapy (LLLT).

Thanks for any insights!

I just wanted to ask again whether anyone on the forum may have tried this type of therapy. Here is an article that I found.

The experiment was just on cells, but it seemed favorable.

If anyone has any info, I'd really appreciate it!

Best wishes to all.

I have a laser like this. Do you know where to get more info? Seems like something must have happened with it since 2009.

Hi Gerry --- Very sorry for the delay. For some reason, I didn't notice your message until now.

I can't find much information about the laser (and we haven't bought it yet, so I can't report on our experience with it) but I am pasting some links below with the information that I was able to find. (Note that some of these are from a seller's website.)

http://vitalitymagazine.com/article/...light-therapy/ (This is about high blood pressure.)

There is another article that I could not post because it is a PDF. It is called "The potential of light therapy in Parkinson’s disease," published in the journal "ChronoPhysiology and Therapy."

Did you ever try to use your laser to treat your PD?

Best wishes!

I'll have to agree with GerryW that there should have been some more research using the LLLT for PD since 2009, such as a clinical trial, but found none in my quick lit search, suggesting a possible dead-end.

I did come across this on-going clinical trial, "Efficacy Study of Light Therapy as an Adjunctive Treatment for Parkinson's Disease" (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT02175472), which could be related.

As a diversion, I have created a Youtube video on the frustrations of losing your dopamine. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8G5UQrfm3E)

Thanks for the links. I never used my laser on PD. I wouldn't know what to point it at.

Deangreen, great video and song!! The illustrations really made me chuckle. Thanks for the info on the clinical trial. I called this morning and left a message.

Thanks, Gerry, also, for your reply.

Happy New Year.
