A medical experiment was conducted in a randomized, crossover, single-blind, placebo-controlled fashion on house painters, typists, computer operators, and other usual victims of carpal tunnel syndrome. The results were revealing and provided health professionals in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia proof that permanent relief for acute and chronic wrist pain is readily available.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), a common defect of the wrist and hand, is a disability affecting several million people in Western industrialized nations. It is caused by pressure on the middle nerve in the wrist's carpal tunnel. The condition offers much pain and often prevents the sufferer from pursuing any occupation involving wrist movement. The syndrome is seen more often in women, especially in pregnant as well as menopausal women. Symptoms may result from a blow, swelling, a tumor, rheumatoid arthritis, or an overly small carpal tunnel that squeezes the nerve. The median (middle) nerve serves a person's palm and thumb side of the hand. Pressure on the nerve causes multiple symptoms: weakness, pain when the thumb is bent toward the palm, as well as burning, tingling, and/or aching that may spread to the forearm and the shoulder. Weakness and wasting of muscles may occur from lack of wrist movement, getting in the way of full use of the thumb and fingers. Pain may be either infrequent or constant and is often most intense at night.
Now prolonged comfort is assured for sufferers of CTS because researchers in the Department of Neurology at the Boston University School of Medicine uncovered that Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is highly effective in eliminating wrist pain completely. The pain-free results last for between one and three years. This medical school investigation involved just a small number, but it was convincing. Eleven people received red-beam laser therapy directed at acupuncture points along the painful hand and wrist. The true treatment was compared to a placebo or "sham" treatment which provided no therapeutic benefit. Both applications were painless, and patients could not tell which they were receiving because the affected hand was treated hanging behind a black curtain without the patient knowing if treatment devices were real or sham.
Proven by this July 2002 experiment is that the pain of carpal tunnel syndrome treated with a low-level laser directed at acupuncture points markedly reduces wrist pain or causes it to disappear altogether.
The application of acupuncture ordinarily involves placing fine needles at specific spots on the body's surface. Chinese traditional medicine theory holds that such points or skin spots connect with energy pathways or meridians that run through the body, and acupuncture keeps this natural energy flow running smoothly.
Prior to the application of LLLT, usual treatment had included painkillers, braces, steroid injections into the wrist joint, and/or surgery to "release" the ligament that runs through the tunnel and puts pressure on nerves. Most of the existing treatments are expensive, may produce pain by themselves, could have side effects, and often end up not working or giving only temporary relief.
Injecting steroids, for example, removes pain for an average of just three months. Moreover, only 40 percent of the CTS patients who undergo surgery are eventually able to return to normal functioning. The Boston University researchers mentioned that in 1993, treating one case of CTS in California cost over $5,000 without surgery. A decade later the cost for such proposed correction by this conventional treatment has more than doubled.
For up to three years when the beneficial response to administering acupuncture using LLLT eventually wears off, this safe and effective treatment is taken again by the patient to achieve another long period of wrist comfort. Using low level laser therapy today, carpal tunnel syndrome patients can thus continue their usual occupations without experiencing any more pain in their wrists even under stress.

  • why does this guy look like a pakistani sheep herder and talking about health? 

  • Malarky

  • I agree with you on the Thymus, but there is presense of Thymus in older adults well into their 80's and 90's. I've seen it. As far as cold laser goes, it works. It works very well. His approach isn't very good though..

  • whatcha weaaaaaaarinnn? :)

    You remind me of a crazy monkey from Jungle Book.

    Haa Haa ^_^

  • People... dont fool yourselfs. If you really want healing stuff. You need lasers though. But with alot of joules on each cm2. This thing is so weak it would work anyway.

    Real LLLT works.. but you need lasers that are stronger.

  • lol this guy is a fag adrenaline rockks

  • This is total crap for many reasons. FOr example, the thymus has very little function after your first few years of life. It is there for T-cell maturation early in life for immunity. The thymus is barely even recognizable as an adult, being that it is almost completely replaced by benign fat cells. My cadaver's thymus was barely even there. THIS IS A CON
