Abstract:
1. A method of treating or ameliorating a disease or condition associated with neuropathic pain using a multi-spectra photon therapy device, said method comprising: positioning a multi-spectra photon therapy device on or near a subject suffering from a disease or condition associated with neuropathic pain at a predetermined anatomical location; wherein said multi-spectra photon therapy device comprises an array of light emitting diodes (LEDs) having at least three sets of LEDs, with a first set of LEDs emitting light in the about red wavelengths, and a second set of LEDs emitting light in the about near infrared wavelengths, and at least a third set of LEDs emitting light in the about near infrared wavelengths; and wherein said at least three sets of LEDs are configured according to a predetermined pattern; and illuminating the anatomical location with said at least three sets of LEDs at three or more frequencies, in sequence, in the range of about 0.5 to about 10000 Hz for a predetermined duration of time, to thereby treat or ameliorate said disease or condition associated with neuropathic pain; wherein the about red wavelengths of said first set of LEDs range from about 630 nm to about 660 nm, and wherein the about near infrared wavelengths of said second and at least third set of LEDs range from about 740 nm to about 905 nm, and wherein said at least three sets of LEDs are activated at sequences of frequencies and durations of time specific to treat or ameliorate a disease or condition associated with neuropathic pain, wherein the frequencies and durations of time are selected from the group consisting of: about 146 Hz, about 292 Hz, about 584 Hz, and about 4672 Hz, each independently for about 1 second to about 5 minute; about 146 Hz, about 292 Hz, and about 4672 Hz, each independently for about 1 second to about 5 minute; about 146 Hz, about 584 Hz, and about 4672Hz, each independently for about 1 second to about 5 minute; about 146 Hz, about 292 Hz, about 584 Hz, about 292 Hz, and about 584 Hz, each independently for about 1 second to about 5 minute; about 146 Hz, about 584 Hz, about 1168 Hz, and about 4672 Hz, each independently for about 1 second to about 5 minute; about 73 Hz, about 584 Hz, about 1168, about 2336 Hz, and about 4672, , each independently for about 1 second to about 5 minute; about 146 Hz, about 292 Hz, and about 584 Hz, each independently for about 1 second to about 5 minute; about 292 Hz, about 146 Hz, and about 4672 Hz, each independently for about 1 second to about 5 minute; about 4672 Hz, about 146 Hz, about 292 Hz, about 584 Hz, and about 4672 Hz, each independently for about 1 second to about 5 minute; and about 292 Hz, about 146 Hz, and about 584 Hz, each independently for about 1 second to about 5 minute.
