Menière's Disease: Are there negative sideeffects of Low Level Lasertherapy?
More than 30 years of experimental and clinical research shows, that Low Level Lasertherapy is free of sideeffects.
The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has ruled Low Level Lasertherapy as a therapy causing no harm to the patients.

Treatment of Menière's Disease: Basic data of the study
|
* at the beginning of the treatment Menière's Disease
Treatment of Menière's Disease: Method
The energy was transmitted by 3 laser diodes with a wave length of 830 nm and 3 diodes with a wave length of 635 nm; it was administered via meatus and mastoid.

The hearing capacity of the patients was ameliorated in all frequency sectors
(average value = 20.6 %). The best db-reductions were obtained in the low frequency
sector (9,3 db) and in the high frequency sector (11,2 db). There was a close
(and biologically plausible) correlation as far as the amelioration of the hearing
capacity and the age of the patients and the duration of their disease were
concerned; this correlation was the higher, the more energy was transfered on
the whole.
Treatment of Menière's Disease: Conclusions
If LLLL is administered in sufficiently high dosages to the inner ear
(cochlea), it is possible to obtain and document medicinically significant
biostimulative effects.
