STUDY: Laser and Osteoarthritis
Episode 123
Tuesday, 23 June, 2026

This episode reviews a 2026 pilot study evaluating the effects of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) on inflammatory and cartilage biomarkers in patients with advanced knee osteoarthritis. We discuss the biologic rationale for PBMT, changes in serum and synovial fluid cytokines, and whether these findings move PBMT closer to being considered a disease-modifying intervention rather than simply a symptomatic treatment. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12972950/#sec1-2Ferreira, Nathalia Lopes et al. “Photobiomodulation Therapy Modulates Inflammatory and Cartilage Biomarkers in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis: A Pilot Case Series.” Journal of orthopaedic case reports vol. 16,3 (2026): 315-321. doi:10.13107/jocr.2026.v16.i03.6980YouTube ChannelView the many other episodes and videos available here Laser Therapy InstituteFurther Resources:Success with Laser Therapy Flowchart & Checklist InfographicCheck out these FREE Provider ResourcesRead about laser research on the LTI BlogLearn more about what we offer on the LTI websiteFind out how you can Customize your LTI experience
