The Ultimate Guide to Red Light Therapy
The study involved over 2,200 patients, with an average age of 73.
21
Most (62%) had diabetes-related nerve
damage called diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Diabetes is a common condition that affects a person’s
ability to control their blood sugar levels. Before treatment, sensory tests revealed that they had significant
numbness, with an average of more than 7 out of 10 spots on their feet where they couldn’t feel a light touch.

Patients regained feeling in an average of 4.7
spots - a 66% improvement. Importantly, over half (53%) of those who initially had very poor sensation regained
some ability to feel light touch, which is crucial for foot protection.
The study also examined pain levels.
21
Before treatment, even with pain medication, patients rated their pain
at an average of 7.2 out of 10. After MIRE therapy, their average pain score dropped to 2.4, which is a 67%
reduction in pain intensity.
These findings suggest that MIRE therapy could be a valuable tool for improving
the lives of older adults with nerve damage.
21
By potentially reducing both pain
and numbness, this treatment could significantly enhance their overall quality
of life.
