Effects of Low-Level Laser Therapy on Pain in Patients with Musculoskeletal Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. 2017.
This record summarizes category-level photobiomodulation evidence. It is not a clinical study of the rePretty Mat and should not be read as a product-specific treatment claim.
Protocol
What was reviewed or tested
Low-level laser protocols across multiple anatomical sites, with subgroup analysis for WALT adherence.
Selected outcomes
What the record reports
- Pooled results favored LLLT for pain, with high between-study heterogeneity and larger estimates in WALT-adherent studies.
Required reading
Limitations
- High heterogeneity across conditions, sites, and protocols reduces transferability.
- Clinical laser protocols are not product-specific evidence for a home LED mat.
