Article Synopsis
- Tinnitus currently has no known specific cause or FDA-approved treatments, leading to a strong need for personalized therapies for patients with idiopathic and refractory tinnitus.
- The study evaluated various treatments, including transmeatal low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and its combinations with other modalities, assessing their effects on tinnitus handicap inventory (THI) scores over time.
- Results indicated that both laser puncture and transmeatal LLLT showed significant positive outcomes compared to placebo, with longer irradiation times improving effectiveness; further research is encouraged to explore long-term effects and optimal treatment parameters.
Article Synopsis
- * It involved 20 Caucasian participants receiving targeted PBM treatments both intranasally for smell and intraorally for taste, with specific laser settings and treatment sessions.
- * Results indicated a significant improvement in both olfactory and gustatory functions, but more extensive research with larger groups is needed.
Article Synopsis
- SARS-CoV-2 infection causes inflammation that leads to smell (anosmia) and taste (ageusia) dysfunction in patients.
- Photobiomodulation therapy, known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, may effectively treat these symptoms.
- A case report showed that after 10 sessions of photobiomodulation treatment, the patient regained their sense of smell and taste.
