- Original description
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that results in tissue remodeling, airflow limitation, and bronchial hyperresponsiveness. This study aims to evaluate the long-term effects of photobiomodulation using an LED vest in the management of pediatric asthma. It is a randomized clinical trial involving children aged 6 to 17 years diagnosed with mild to moderate asthma, divided into two groups: an intervention group (using a vest with active LEDs) and a control group (using the vest turned off, simulating the intervention without light emission). The methodology includes clinical and functional assessments such as spirometry, the Asthma Control Test (ACT), the GINA questionnaire, and the Incremental Step Test (IST), which measures exercise tolerance. Photobiomodulation through LEDs promotes cellular biostimulation without thermal effects, modulating inflammatory processes and optimizing tissue regeneration. It is expected that the LED vest will contribute to improving pulmonary function, enhancing quality of life, and complementing conventional treatments. This project aims to advance the clinical application of photobiomodulation as an accessible and effective therapeutic alternative for pediatric asthma.Read full original descriptionShow less
