In a single-blind, sham-controlled multicentre trial partly authored by the device maker, a home-use 630+850 nm LED patch plus rehabilitation produced greater 28-day pain improvement in chronic non-specific low back pain than a low-power red sham plus rehabilitation. The function (JOA) difference was below the clinically important threshold.
