Photobiomodulation With or Without ILIB in Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: Randomized Pilot Trial

30-Second Summary

This randomized pilot trial of 26 people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy tested local photobiomodulation (PBMT) alone or combined with intravascular laser blood irradiation (ILIB) versus sham. Treatments were feasible and associated with short-term reductions in neuropathic pain and some symptoms, but no clear between-group superiority was demonstrated; findings are preliminary given the small sample, baseline heterogeneity, potential placebo effects, and short follow-up.
