This page will enclose the theory and evidence of near infrared anodyne therapy, how does it work, why anodyne therapy is helpful and do help to human body.

 

A 2006 article by Harkless et al. reviewed the medical records of 2,239 patients who experienced neuropathic (nerve-related) pain and/or loss of sensation in the foot. The authors of the study concluded that the treatment significantly reduced pain and improved sensation in most patients, though a statistical analysis was not provided.

 

A 2004 study by Leonard et al. evaluated monochromatic near-infrared treatment for symptomatic relief in patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Measures of treatment success included improved balance, reduced pain, and the restoration of sensation. Patients showed a statistically significant improvement in restoration of sensation, foot sensitivity, and pain. However, not all measured parameters showed statistically significant results.

Current clinical applications show that nearinfrared anodyne therapy for diabetes can help people control and prevent diabetes complications quite well, and is the most safe way to treat diabetes.
