Low Level LaserEffective with NSAID Resistant Patients

Cold Laser Therapy for Knee Osteoarthritis Is an Effective and Side-Effect Free Therapy in NSAID Resistant Knee Pain

In order to ease osteoarthritis knee pain many knee pain sufferers will take NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). NSAIDs can either be prescribed or be purchased over-the counter.  The most popular drugs are Mobic, Naprosyn, Ibuprofen (Advil and Motrin), and Alleve.  Unfortunately, many of these drugs have long term side-effects and are not EFFECTIVE OR SAFE for those suffering with osteoarthritis knee pain.  Many knee pain sufferers have consumed NSAIDs for so long that they are no longer a viable treatment, and they become resistant to the drugs.

Previous clinical studies have shown effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (cold laser therapy) in reducing pain and inflammation. In a recent study, after 6 weeks of NSAID (non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) consumption, 386 unsatisfied patients were treated with cold laser therapy.   Cold laser therapy was conducted to determine if cold laser therapy was an effective treatment for osteoarthritis knee pain.   After completing just 12 sessions the effects of cold laser therapy were assessed.   Researchers discovered that there was a statistically significant improvement in pain, night pain, morning stiffness, walking pain, inflammation, and range of motion after the cold laser therapy treatment was performed.

The study concluded that cold laser therapy is an effective and side effect-free adjunctive therapeutic modality for knee pain osteoarthritis even if the patient is NSAID resistant.
