What to Look For Across Studies

Wavelength

Which wavelengths were used in the study?

Treatment Parameters

Irradiance, treatment time, distance and treatment schedule.

Participant Group

Who participated in the study and what were their characteristics?

Study Design

RCT, systematic review, meta-analysis and other study designs answer different questions.

Research Context

Research findings are specific to the wavelengths, devices, treatment protocols and participant groups evaluated in each study and should not be assumed to apply to every red light device.

Research Note

Research outcomes can vary depending on wavelength, irradiance, treatment time, distance, device design, participant characteristics and study methodology.
