Parkinson’s and the benefits of Laser Treatment – Latest Innovation

The PDCare laser by @symbyxbiome was used in a recent clinical trial in Adelaide, South Australia for people living with Parkinsons. The trial, conducted with Parkinsons South Australia, involved the use of light therapy, known sometimes as photobiomodulation (PBM), which is being investigated by SYMBYX to treat a range of neurodegenerative conditions, the most notable and promising of which is the management of Parkinson’s symptoms.

Parkinson’s disease is a currently incurable, progressive neurological condition caused by a lack of dopamine, a chemical produced by the brain to help initiate and control body movement. Symptoms can include muscle rigidity, tremor, difficulty walking as well as depression, anxiety, difficulty swallowing, digestive problems and loss of sense of smell.

The SYMBYX trial involved two small groups of patients, all diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease by a neurologist. Participants used the PDCare laser light device in a clinical setting for 12 weeks, and then a further 40 weeks from home.

Patients were assessed before the trial started and again through the year-long treatment period. The devices used were medical-grade lasers, containing diodes manufactured in Sweden.

The results, published in the BMC Neurology journal, 2 July 2021, found that measures of mobility, cognition, dynamic balance and fine motor skill were significantly improved with PBM treatment for 12 weeks and up to one year.

“Many individual improvements were above the minimal clinically important difference, the threshold judged to be meaningful for participants,” the research states. “Individual improvements varied but many continued for up to one year with sustained home treatment. No side effects of the treatment were observed.”

The journal also noted that: “PBM was shown to be a safe and potentially effective treatment for a range of clinical signs and symptoms of PD. Improvements were maintained for as long as treatment continued, for up to one year in a neurodegenerative disease where decline is typically expected.

SYMBYX devices use non-thermal (heating) laser lights directed to the patient’s gut to promote increased dopamine production. “What most people don’t know is that about half of our dopamine actually comes from the gut,” Dr Markman said. “Using SYMBYX hand-held lasers and treatment protocols, patients are able to stimulate their gut microbiome to take over and do some of the heavy lifting, in terms of dopamine manufacturing,” he said.
