What happened when researchers added light therapy to usual care.
In a trial enrolling 114 adults with plantar fasciitis, researchers compared clinical photobiomodulation plus usual care with usual care alone. During the first three weeks, average pain scores fell more in the light-therapy groups.
Clinical PBM + usual care
4.5 → 2.8Average pain score
Usual care alone
4.0 → 3.8Average pain score
The key finding: adding clinical light therapy produced a greater improvement than usual care alone in this trial.
