“…We found one relevant case report published in a conference proceeding (25). This described a 69 year old with 4 years of progressive limb onset ALS, whose diagnosis was said to be confirmed by neurological exams, electromyography, and neuroimaging to exclude mimics.…”

“…We do not know the optimal LT stimulation sites, cycle duration or cycle frequency for ALS. Future ALS trials could start with a protocol similar to that used in the one positive case report (25): laser LT at 810-890 nm, 4-15 J/ cm2 administered transcutaneously, widely over the head and spine, twice daily in 20 day cycles. Since the positive effects in this case were reported to last 20-30 days, cycles could be 20 days apart.…”

Since many years some effects of non surgical laser and light on biological tissue have been demonstrated, in vitro and in vivo. This review is based on the results obtained by me and my colleagues/follower in Italy. Aim of our study is to verify the anti-inflammatory and regenerative effects of non surgical laser and light therapy on patients with chronic diseases not good treatable with traditional therapies, as diabetes, and central nervous system injuries. In addition, many clinical data have emerged from double-blind trials on laser treatment of rheumatic diseases and in sports medicine. So, we would like to do a review on the state of the art of non surgical laser treatment in medicine, included aesthetic laser and light therapy field. We discuss the indications and limitations of aesthetic laser medicine, as concluded from the data analysis of the published literature and from over thirty years of personal experiences.NMR of the first patient.
