Low back pain has become the leading cause of disability worldwide and is a major global public health problem. Recently, the National Health and Wellness Commission of the People's Republic of China and the Expert Group of the Special Capacity Enhancement Project for Pain Disease Diagnosis and Treatment of the Center for Capacity Building and Continuing Education, published the “Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Chronic Low Back Pain (2024 Edition)” (hereinafter referred to as “the Guidelines”) in the Chinese Journal of Pain, and the high-energy laser treatment was listed as the evidence Grade A, Recommendation Strength 1, honored as the strongest recommendation!
The Lancet, the world's leading medical journal, noted in June 2021, involving a review of 165 studies, that low back pain is the leading cause of productivity loss worldwide, the number one killer of lost healthy life expectancy in 126 countries, the number one cause of disability globally, and second only to the flu in incidence! The problem, however, is that it is difficult to achieve good therapeutic results with conventional treatments.
The Guidelines point out that the objectives of treatment for chronic low back pain are to relieve pain, reduce disability, restore function and avoid recurrence; of these, pain relief is the most important factor in patients' choice of treatment. There are many treatments for low back pain, including general treatment, physiotherapy, Chinese medicine, medication, psychotherapy, surgery, etc.; among them, non-surgical treatment is the first-line choice for most patients.
The Guidelines not only comprehensively review the current status of chronic low back pain treatment, but also highlight the potential and advantages of this new physical therapy through the highest level of recommendation for high-energy laser treatment. High-energy laser belongs to the category of physical factor therapy, and has received the highest level of recommendation from the Guidelines for its excellent analgesic effect, reduction of drug dependence, and ability to promote natural healing.
As a pioneer explorer in the field of high-energy laser medical treatment, PBM Medical Laser Technology has been working hard for two decades to provide one-stop solutions from physical therapy and rehabilitation to minimally invasive surgery, and its products have been exported to Europe, America and other developed countries around the world, winning the recognition of the international market. Through the technical cooperation with Tsinghua Straits Research Institute and Xiamen University School of Life Sciences, PBM Medical Laser continues to promote the exploration of cutting-edge technology, and is committed to providing safer and more efficient high-energy laser medical solutions for global medical institutions.
The release of this Guideline provides the strongest evidence for the application of high-energy laser therapy in the field of chronic low back pain. It not only highly recognizes the scientific value of high-energy laser therapy, but also opens up cutting-edge treatment ideas for the medical industry. It is worth noting that, in addition to low back pain, high-energy laser has also demonstrated a wide range of pain management capabilities, which can rapidly relieve a wide range of pain, including post-partum pain, arthralgia, and neuralgia, helping patients to reduce drug dependence, reduce the use of pain medication, and cope with pain in a healthier and more relaxed manner. PBM Medical Laser will continue to deepen its research and development, and is willing to work side by side with medical institutions around the world to explore more medical possibilities of high-energy lasers.
