Abstract
Current methods to treat pain have several limitations (e.g., addiction, limited efficacy, etc.) and new options are sorely needed. Photobiomodulation (PBM) at 808 nm has been shown to reduce small fiber axon sensitivities in both human and animal models when applied for the purposes of action potential block. A study using a pulsed light dosing scheme was conducted to determine the viability of using commercially available IPGs for a potential implanted system. Results showed a reduction in pain lasting about 8 days, indicating that this method of delivery has promise for an implanted system.
