Efficacy of Photobiomodulation in the Treatment of Osteoarthritis within the Coxofemoral Joint of the Canine.
Photobiomodulation effectively treated OA within the coxofemoral joint of all the patients and significantly increased their quality of life. The application of photobiomodulation should always be considered a therapeutic option in the treatment of OA of the coxofemoral joint.
OPEN FILEA randomized blind placebo-controlled trial investigating the effects of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) on canine elbow osteoarthritis
There was greater improvement in lameness score post PMBT vs S therapy (P = 0.001). A greater reduction in pain score was detected in 9/11 parameters in group PBMT (P < 0.05). Regularly scheduled PBMT at 10-20J/cm2/joint for 6 weeks was successful in improving lameness and pain scores, and in lowering NSAID requirement in canine elbow osteoarthritis patients.

Our results show that LLLT reduces pain in KOA and improves microcirculation in the irradiated area.

The result showed that HILT and LLLT combined with exercise were effective treatment modalities in decreasing the VAS and WOMAC scores after 6 weeks of treatment. HILT combined with exercises was more effective than LLLT combined with exercises, and both treatment modalities were better than exercises alone in the treatment of patients with KOA.
