Photo-Biomodulation Therapy in treating Infertility
Ovarian reserve(actively witnessed via., increased AMH and decreased FSH) is intimately tied to optimizing fertility by improving egg quality. There is preliminary evidence for the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy in treating Infertility, a study that was performed in an IVF center in Japan used LLLT in women with low or undetectable AMH levels, out of 188 patients treated almost 56% reported pregnancy & 38% reported live births. This study was conducted from April 2010 to November 2015 on patients with low or undetectable AMH levels.
For better understanding out of 13 patients with an AMH level of 0.1, 6 patients were found to achieve a clinical pregnancy and 5 patients gave birth. An extension of this study showed 50% pregnancy rates.
A study in Denmark showed a 60% pregnancy rate in women who had struggled with infertility for 4 or more years with failure of ART procedures.
Specific patients who would most benefit from photobiomodulation therapies, for natural conception or in combination with assisted reproductive technologies (IVF/IUI/OI/TI)
- Low ovarian reserves.
- Women of advanced maternal age.
- Men with low sperm count or quality.
- Women who have been through multiple cycles of IVF with high retrieval rates but low blastocyst rates.
- PCOS ovarian cysts or fibroids.
- Endometriosis.
- Poor egg quality.
Women with poor implantation rates repeat pregnancy loss or chemical pregnancies.
