  • Phototherapy

Interventions

DEVICE

Transverse Many Channels Laser Instrument

The device consists of a control box and 4 sets of two light-emitting nasal probes. Prior to treatment, each patient put on a pair of black tinted glasses, and had the nasal probes gently placed into both nostrils. A turn-on switch on the control box activated the probe and the timer was set at 15 minutes during which time 36 J of light energy was delivered to each nostril.
