Test of light therapy for long-term severe arthritis pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a non-drug therapy called biophoton therapy to see if it can reduce chronic severe arthritis pain. It may be an option if you've had pain for at least 3 months and are not using certain medical implants.

This trial tests a biophoton therapy, a light-based treatment, for people with brain disorders. It aims to see if this non-invasive approach can help improve symptoms.
This study tests whether a special light therapy (called photobiomodulation) can reduce knee pain and inflammation in people with knee osteoarthritis. If you qualify, you might receive either active light therapy or a sham (inactive) treatment to see if it helps with your chronic knee pain.
This trial tests whether using a whole-body light treatment (photobiomodulation) can reduce widespread chronic pain. It may help if you have long-lasting, widespread pain and can safely use the device for about 6 weeks.
This study tests if light therapy can reduce knee pain and swelling (synovitis) caused by arthritis. If you have long-lasting knee pain and arthritis, this treatment might offer a non-drug option to help you feel better.
This study tests a light therapy device called OLIZ that is placed on the skin to help reduce pain after knee replacement surgery. It may offer a drug-free option for managing pain after your operation.
This study tests a special light therapy called photobiomodulation (light applied to the skin) to reduce pain after knee replacement surgery. You would receive this treatment on your knee after surgery, and it aims to help you recover with less pain and fewer opioids.
