Photobiomodulation Therapy for Radiation Fibrosis

New York, New York
Radiation fibrosis syndrome (RFS) is a general side effect of radiation therapy (RT) which can adversely impact patients chronically over years typically triggered by an acute inflammatory state that evolves into chronic inflammation and tissue remodeling causing lymphedema, fibrosis, pain, atrophy and organ dysfunction. Some of the side effects that encompass RFS in the head and neck (HNC) population include decreased ability to fully open the mouth (trismus), neck pain and tightness (cervical dystonia), lymphedema (swelling), difficult with speech and swallowing and salivary hypofunction. Although there is Level I evidence demonstrating the benefit of Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy to prevent acute mucositis in HNC patients treated with RT, there is only limited data regarding its impact. This is a clinical trial to compare active treatment (PBM-therapy) with sham control (Sham- therapy). Up to 60 patients will be randomized to the two groups with equal allocation to estimate the efficacy (soft tissue thickness) of external Photobiomodulation (PBM) with light-emitting diode (LED) planned therapy for the treatment of radiation fibrosis syndrome (RFS) in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients who have undergone radiation therapy (RT) compared with sham control.

Why Other Patients Applied

"My orthopedist recommended a half replacement of my right knee. I have had both hips replaced. Currently have arthritis in knee, shoulder, and thumb. I want to avoid surgery, and I'm open-minded about trying a trial before using surgery as a last resort."

"I've tried several different SSRIs over the past 23 years with no luck. Some of these new treatments seem interesting... haven't tried anything like them before. I really hope that one could work."

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."
