Description Oral Mucositis Oral mucositis describes inflammation of the oral mucosa and typically manifests as erythema or ulcerations that appear 7 to 10 days after initiation of high-dose cancer therapy. Oral mucositis can cause significant pain and increased risk of systemic infection, dependency on total parenteral nutrition, and use of opioid analgesics.

Treatment Treatment planning may also need to be modified due to dose-limiting toxicity. There are a number of interventions for oral mucositis that may partially control symptoms, but none is considered a criterion standard treatment. When uncomplicated by infection, oral mucositis is self-limited and usually heals within 2 to 4 weeks after cessation of cytotoxic chemotherapy. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been used in cancer therapy-induced oral mucositis in individuals treated with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy and hematopoietic cell transplantation.

Musculoskeletal and Neurologic Disorders Musculoskeletal disorder describes a variety of conditions leading to chronic pain and decreased quality of life. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common entrapment neuropathy and the most commonly performed surgery of the hand. The syndrome is related to the bony anatomy of the wrist. The carpal tunnel is bound dorsally and laterally by the carpal bones and ventrally by the transverse carpal ligament. Through this contained space run the 9 flexor tendons and the median nerve. Therefore, any space-occupying lesion can compress the median nerve and produce the typical symptoms of CTS pain, numbness, and tingling in the distribution of the median nerve. Symptoms of more severe cases include hypesthesia, clumsiness, loss of dexterity, and weakness of pinch. In the most severe cases, individuals experience marked sensory loss and significant functional impairment with thenar atrophy.

Treatment Several modalities of treatment are used in the management of musculoskeletal pain including medications, immobilization, and physical therapy. The use of LLLT has been investigated for use in musculoskeletal pain conditions. In the case of CTS, mild-to-moderate cases are usually first treated conservatively with splinting and cessation of aggravating activities. Other conservative therapies include oral steroids, diuretics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and steroid injections into the carpal tunnel itself. Individuals who do not respond to conservative therapy or who present with severe CTS with thenar atrophy may be considered candidates for surgical release of the carpal ligament, using either an open or endoscopic approach. Low-level laser therapy is also used to treat CTS.

Wound Care and Lymphedema Chronic wounds are wounds that do not improve after 4 weeks or heal within 8 weeks. These include diabetic foot ulcers, venous-related ulcerations, non-healing surgical wounds, and pressure ulcers. They are often found on the feet, ankles, heels, and calves, and on the hips, thighs, and buttocks of those who cannot walk.

Lymphedema is described as swelling in at least 1 leg and/or arm. It is commonly caused by the removal of a lymph node. The resulting blockage of the lymphatic system prevents lymph fluid from draining well, leading to fluid build-up and swelling. Other symptoms can include heaviness or tightness in the affected

3

limb, restricted range of motion, aching or discomfort, recurring infections, and dermal fibrosis. Risk factors for developing lymphedema after cancer from cancer treatment or from other secondary causes can include older age, obesity, and rheumatoid or psoriatic arthritis.

Treatment Chronic wound management involves ensuring adequate blood flow to the area, preventing the wound from drying, controlling infections, debriding scarred and necrotic tissue, and managing pain. The standard of care for diabetic foot ulcers includes debridement, dressings, offloading of pressure, infection management, and glycemic control. Lymphedema is typically managed with pneumatic compression, exercise, or complete decompression therapy. Use of LLLT has been investigated for the management of both chronic wounds and lymphedema.

Low-Level Laser Therapy Low-level laser therapy is the use of red-beam or near-infrared lasers with a wavelength between 600 and 1000 nm and power between 5 and 500 MW. By comparison, lasers used in surgery typically use 300 W. When applied to the skin, LLLT produces no sensation and does not burn the skin. Because of the low absorption by human skin, it is hypothesized that the laser light can penetrate deeply into the tissues where it has a photobiostimulative effect. The exact mechanism of its effect on tissue healing is unknown; hypotheses have included improved cellular repair and stimulation of the immune, lymphatic, and vascular systems.

Low-level laser therapy is being evaluated to treat a wide variety of conditions, including soft tissue injuries, myofascial pain, tendinopathies, nerve injuries, joint pain, and lymphedema.

Summary Description Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), also called photobiomodulation, is being evaluated to treat various conditions, including, among others, oral mucositis, myofascial pain, joint pain, lymphedema, and chronic wounds.

Summary of Evidence Oral Mucositis For individuals who have an increased risk of oral mucositis due to some cancer treatments (eg, chemotherapy, radiotherapy) and/or hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) who receive low-level laser therapy (LLLT), the evidence includes systematic reviews and 1 RCT in leukemic children. Relevant outcomes are symptoms, morbid events, quality of life (QOL), and treatment-related morbidity. Several systematic reviews of RCTs have found better outcomes with LLLT used to prevent oral mucositis than with control treatments. Results have consistently supported a reduction in severe oral mucositis in patients undergoing chemotherapy, HCT, radiotherapy, and chemoradiotherapy. The evidence is sufficient to determine that the technology results in an improvement in the net health outcome. Musculoskeletal and Neurologic Disorders For individuals who have carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) who receive LLLT, the evidence includes randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and systematic reviews. Relevant outcomes are symptoms, functional outcomes, QOL, and treatment-related morbidity. Both a 2016 systematic review and a TEC Assessment (2010) did not find sufficient evidence from RCTs that LLLT improves outcomes. The evidence is insufficient to determine that the technology results in an improvement in the net health outcome.

For individuals who have neck pain who receive LLLT, the evidence includes RCTs and systematic reviews. Relevant outcomes are symptoms, functional outcomes, QOL, and treatment-related morbidity. A 2013 systematic review identified 17 trials, most of which were considered low-quality. Only 2 trials were considered moderate quality, and they found that LLLT led to better outcomes than placebo for chronic neck pain. A TEC Assessment (2010) found conflicting evidence. Additionally, laser types, application dosages, and treatment schedules vary in the available evidence and require further study. The evidence is insufficient to determine that the technology results in an improvement in the net health outcome.

For individuals who have subacromial impingement syndrome who receive LLLT, the evidence includes RCTs. Relevant outcomes are symptoms, functional outcomes, QOL, and treatment-related morbidity. Most trials did not show a significant benefit of LLLT compared with sham treatment or with an alternative intervention (eg, exercise). The evidence is insufficient to determine that the technology results in an improvement in the net health outcome.

For individuals who have adhesive capsulitis who receive LLLT, the evidence includes RCTs and a systematic review. Relevant outcomes are symptoms, functional outcomes, QOL, and treatment-related morbidity. A Cochrane review evaluating treatments for adhesive capsulitis identified 2 RCTs assessing LLLT. Due to the small number of trials and study limitations, reviewers concluded that the evidence was insufficient to permit conclusions about the effectiveness of LLLT for adhesive capsulitis. The evidence is insufficient to determine that the technology results in an improvement in the net health outcome.

For individuals who have temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain who receive LLLT, the evidence includes RCTs and several systematic reviews. Relevant outcomes are symptoms, functional outcomes, QOL, and treatment-related morbidity. Meta-analyses of RCTs had mixed findings. A 2021 meta-analysis, which included 33 placebo-controlled randomized trials, found a statistically significant impact of LLLT on pain scores and improved functional outcomes (eg, mouth opening); however, heterogeneity was high among included trials. Furthermore, RCTs have not compared the impact of LLLT with physical therapy. The evidence is insufficient to determine that the technology results in an improvement in the net health outcome.

For individuals who have low back pain who receive LLLT, the evidence includes RCTs and systematic reviews. Relevant outcomes are symptoms, functional outcomes, QOL, and treatment-related morbidity. Meta-analyses of RCTs found that LLLT resulted in a significantly greater reduction in pain scores and global assessment scores than a placebo control in the immediate posttreatment setting. Meta- analyses have found conflicting evidence regardingthat other outcomes (eg, disability index, range of motion). The evidence is insufficient to determine that the technology results in an improvement in the net health outcome.

For individuals who have osteoarthritis (OA) knee pain who receive LLLT, the evidence includes RCTs and systematic reviews. Relevant outcomes are symptoms, functional outcomes, QOL, and treatment-related morbidity. A 2020 systematic review, which pooled study findings, did find that LLLT significantly reduced pain or improved functional outcomes compared with a sham intervention; however, the study was limited by high heterogeneity and inconsistency between regimens and follow-up duration. The evidence is insufficient to determine that the technology results in an improvement in the net health outcome.

For individuals who have heel pain (ie, Achilles tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis) who receive LLLT, the evidence includes RCTs and 2 systematic reviews. Relevant outcomes are symptoms, functional outcomes, QOL, and treatment-related morbidity. Findings of sham-controlled randomized trials were inconsistent, and RCTs lacked long term follow up. The evidence is insufficient to determine that the technology results in an improvement in the net health outcome.

For individuals who have rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who receive LLLT, the evidence includes RCTs and a systematic review. Relevant outcomes are symptoms, functional outcomes, QOL, and treatment-related morbidity. A systematic review of RCTs found an inconsistent benefit of LLLT for a range of outcomes. A 2010 RCT, published after the systematic review, did not find that LLLT was significantly better than a placebo treatment on most outcomes. The evidence is insufficient to determine that the technology results in an improvement in the net health outcome.

For individuals who have Bell palsy who receive LLLT, the evidence includes 2 RCTs and 1 nonrandomized controlled trial. Relevant outcomes are symptoms, functional outcomes, QOL, and treatment-related morbidity. One RCT found a significant short-term benefit of LLLT over exercise. Longer-term outcomes (>6 weeks) were not available. Because Bell palsy often improves within weeks and may completely resolve within months, it is difficult to isolate specific improvements from laser therapy over the natural resolution of the illness. Also, no sham-controlled trials are available. The

5

evidence is insufficient to determine that the technology results in an improvement in the net health outcome. For individuals who have fibromyalgia who receive LLLT, the evidence includes RCTs and systematic reviews. Relevant outcomes are symptoms, functional outcomes, QOL, and treatment-related morbidity. The RCTs evaluating LLLT for treatment of fibromyalgia are small. One RCT (N=20 patients) found significantly better outcomes with LLLT than with sham, while another (N=20 patients) did not find statistically significant between-group differences for similar outcomes. A larger (N=42) study found improved pain and QOL with LLLT; however, the trial was conducted at a single center with strict inclusion criteria. Additional RCTs with sufficient numbers of patients are needed to establish the efficacy of LLLT for fibromyalgia. The evidence is insufficient to determine that the technology results in an improvement in the net health outcome.

Wound Care and Lymphedema For individuals who have chronic nonhealing wounds who receive LLLT, the evidence includes RCTs and systematic reviews. Relevant outcomes are symptoms, functional outcomes, QOL, and treatment-related morbidity. The few existing RCTs tend to have small sample sizes and potential risk of bias. The evidence is insufficient to determine that the technology results in an improvement in the net health outcome.

For individuals who have lymphedema who receive LLLT, the evidence includes RCTs and systematic reviews. Relevant outcomes are symptoms, functional outcomes, QOL, and treatment-related morbidity. Multiple systematic reviews detected methodologic flaws in the available studies and did not consistently find better outcomes for patients receiving LLLT than those receiving a control condition for the treatment of lymphedema. The evidence is insufficient to determine that the technology results in an improvement in the net health outcome.
