Clinical Trial Summary

This is a prospective, double-blind, randomised, sham-controlled study whose primary aim is to test whether LLLT changes the intensity of itch after histamine application in healthy volunteers compared to sham application.


Clinical Trial Description

Rationale and relevance of the study Low-level light therapy (LLLT) is a method of photobiomodulation that involves the clinical application of light with wavelengths typically in the range of 600 to 1100 nm and with a typical power density of 5 mWcm² to 5 Wcm². Clinical studies have demonstrated positive effects of LLLT on pain processing, which is attributed to a reduction in neurogenic inflammation and associated neuronal sensitisation. This has been proven by testing for hyperaesthesia or allodynia. In the course of neurogenic inflammation, histamine liberation also occurs, which can be associated with itching. Chronic itching is also frequently associated with somatosensory abnormalities in analogy to chronic pain. Itch-associated dysaesthesias, such as mechanical allocnesia and hyperknesia, can be seen as evidence of neuronal sensitisation in pruritus patients. Oliviera et al. were able to demonstrate an antipruritic effect of LLLT in a case observation of five burn victims. By irradiating with laser, whose photobiomodulative mechanisms are similar to the mechanisms of LLL therapy, this effect was also investigated in lichen planus patients. The effect of LLL on pruritus can be demonstrated in the case observation of five burn victims. Itch models can be divided into histamine-induced and non-histamine-induced. To date, there has been no structured investigation of the antipruritic effect of LLL, nor is it clear to what extent the itch-inducing mechanism has an influence on the suspected efficacy of LLL. ;
