The Anodyne Therapy System is a type of low-level infrared therapy, developed by Integrated Systems Physiology Inc. (Aurora, CO), that has been promoted for augmenting wound healing, for reversing the symptoms of peripheral neuropathy in people with diabetes, and for treating lymphedema. The manuf...
Diabetic Neuropathy:In an RCT in which patients served as their own controls, Leonard et al. examined whether treatments with the Anodyne(R) Therapy System would decrease pain or improve sensation in 27 patients withdiabetic peripheral neuropathy. Each lower extremity ...
Bursitis is associated with poor blood circulation and responds well to peripheral dilation Cancer FIR therapy is helpful in the destruction of cancer cells, as they begin to die off when the malignant tissue reaches 104-106°F (40-41°C). It takes but a small increase in body temperature ...
suggesting that this may be associated with progressive entrapment neuropathy28,29. The thermal difference between the median nerve-innervated and ulnar nerve-innervated areas was higher during the early phase of CTS and then decreased. Conversely, the median nerve-innervated...
(PEMF), static magnetic field therapy, external muscle stimulation, and frequency-modulated electromagnetic neural stimulation, have been reported to decrease pain and increase circulation. However, results of the studies describing the effects of these modalities on peripheral neuropathy remain controversial...

In cancer therapy, it is crucial to detect the onset of cancer cell resistance in order to design new therapeutic strategies. Many techniques used to diagnose cancer cell resistance include polymerase chain reaction (PCR), immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, micro array, and methods for detecting ...
