The Long Term Management of Diabetic Neuropathy with High Power Laser Therapy (HPLT)

Joseph A. Costello Jr. DC, DABCO
Chief of Clinical Services, Avicenna Laser Technology, Inc



OBJECTIVE:
To demonstrate the efficacy of High Power Laser Therapy as a treatment solution for a patient
with chronic non-responsive peripheral neuropathy.

HISTORY and CLINICAL EXAMINATION:
This patient is an 89 year old female who presented in 2007 with pain and severe burning in both
feet of two years duration. She rated her pain as an eight on a visual analog pain scale at the time
of presentation. She is a non insulin dependent diabetic. She had failed all types of medical
management including Anodyne treatments. At the time of presentation, she was taking 1,200
mg of Neurontin per day.


Clinical Examination:
Peripheral pulses were diminished in the Dorsal Pedis and Posterior tibial arteries bilaterally.


Neurological Exam:
DTR:2-/2 and symmetrical. Myotomes were 5/5 and symmetrical. Sensation: reveled hypesthesia
from the metatarsals to the distal phalanges bilateral. Tinel’s sign was positive over the fibular
heads and post Tibial nerves for radiating paresthesias.

Orthokinetic Examination:
Reveled moderately advanced subtalar pronation. Dynamic gait scan revealed areas of increased
pressure over the metatarsal heads.

Diagnosis:
Peripheral Neuropathy resulting in Causalgia.

TREATMENT PLAN(METHODS) AND RESULTS:
The patient was fit with corrective orthotics to correct abnormal biomechanics and remove
abnormal pressure areas from the plantar surface of the foot. She was then treated with
High Power Laser Therapy (HPLT). The exact protocols are proprietary. After her first
treatment, she indicated a significant reduction in burning pain. After completion of a course of
therapeutic high power laser therapy performed three days each week for approximately 8 weeks,
she was completely pain free and her sensation to pinprick had gradually increased. Her clinical
exam revealed a dramatic improvement in her peripheral pulses in the ankles and feet (Dorsal
Pedis and Posterior Tibial Artery). . Only patchy areas of hypesthesia remained. The patient
refused maintenance treatments at that time. Table 1 outlines the chronological results for the
initial course of treatment.

                        Table 1 - Results Initial Course of Treatment


COURSE OF REGRESSION:
The patient indicated that she remained pain free for almost one year before a gradual return of
her symptoms began.

TREATMENT PLAN:
The patient once again returned for HPLT. After a therapeutic course of 15 treatments, she was
once again returned to a completely pain free status.

THERAPEUTIC MAINTENANCE PLAN:
She is now able to maintain her status without any activity intolerance whatsoever by
participating in maintenance therapy approximately 60-90 days.


CONCLUSION:
High Power Laser Therapy has been demonstrated to accelerate nerve regeneration(3,4) as well
as vasodilation of blood vessels and neo-capillary formation (1,2,5,6). It is safe and virtually free
of side effects. As demonstrated in this case study, HPLT is much more than a deep heating



2
modality (8). This opinion is proven by the fact that no other form of medical management to
date has ever delivered almost twelve months of pain free living for a neuropathy patient! This
would also include any form of soft tissue heating modality. Clearly at this time, a large scale
blinded study with a control group and sham treatment needs to be done to further evaluate
HPLT results with neuropathy patients on a long term basis.

Diabetic neuropathy-with-high-power-laser-therapy-case-study

  • 1. Avicenna Class IV Laser Therapy Text Copyright © 2009 Avicenna Laser Technology, Inc. ============================CASE REPORT============================== The Long Term Management of Diabetic Neuropathy with High Power Laser Therapy (HPLT) Joseph A. Costello Jr. DC, DABCO Chief of Clinical Services, Avicenna Laser Technology, Inc OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the efficacy of High Power Laser Therapy as a treatment solution for a patient with chronic non-responsive peripheral neuropathy. HISTORY and CLINICAL EXAMINATION: This patient is an 89 year old female who presented in 2007 with pain and severe burning in both feet of two years duration. She rated her pain as an eight on a visual analog pain scale at the time of presentation. She is a non insulin dependent diabetic. She had failed all types of medical management including Anodyne treatments. At the time of presentation, she was taking 1,200 mg of Neurontin per day. Clinical Examination: Peripheral pulses were diminished in the Dorsal Pedis and Posterior tibial arteries bilaterally. Neurological Exam: DTR:2-/2 and symmetrical. Myotomes were 5/5 and symmetrical. Sensation: reveled hypesthesia from the metatarsals to the distal phalanges bilateral. Tinel’s sign was positive over the fibular heads and post Tibial nerves for radiating paresthesias. Orthokinetic Examination: Reveled moderately advanced subtalar pronation. Dynamic gait scan revealed areas of increased pressure over the metatarsal heads. Diagnosis: Peripheral Neuropathy resulting in Causalgia. TREATMENT PLAN(METHODS) AND RESULTS: The patient was fit with corrective orthotics to correct abnormal biomechanics and remove abnormal pressure areas from the plantar surface of the foot. She was then treated with High Power Laser Therapy (HPLT). The exact protocols are proprietary. After her first treatment, she indicated a significant reduction in burning pain. After completion of a course of therapeutic high power laser therapy performed three days each week for approximately 8 weeks, she was completely pain free and her sensation to pinprick had gradually increased. Her clinical exam revealed a dramatic improvement in her peripheral pulses in the ankles and feet (Dorsal Pedis and Posterior Tibial Artery). . Only patchy areas of hypesthesia remained. The patient refused maintenance treatments at that time. Table 1 outlines the chronological results for the initial course of treatment. 1

TREATMENT PLAN: The patient once again returned for HPLT. After a therapeutic course of 15 treatments, she was once again returned to a completely pain free status. THERAPEUTIC MAINTENANCE PLAN: She is now able to maintain her status without any activity intolerance whatsoever by participating in maintenance therapy approximately 60-90 days. CONCLUSION: High Power Laser Therapy has been demonstrated to accelerate nerve regeneration(3,4) as well as vasodilation of blood vessels and neo-capillary formation (1,2,5,6). It is safe and virtually free of side effects. As demonstrated in this case study, HPLT is much more than a deep heating 2
  • 3. modality (8). This opinion is proven by the fact that no other form of medical management to date has ever delivered almost twelve months of pain free living for a neuropathy patient! This would also include any form of soft tissue heating modality. Clearly at this time, a large scale blinded study with a control group and sham treatment needs to be done to further evaluate HPLT results with neuropathy patients on a long term basis.
