Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The single center, randomized, assessor- and participant-blind, controlled, cross-over on-venous laser irradiation of blood clinical trial was performed to analyze patients with DKD. The information will help to whether integration of laser acupuncture into patient care will help to improve the clinical symptoms and quality of life.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Microalbuminuria is the cardinal symptom of diabetes kidney disease (DKD) and is linked to renal function decline. The cardiovascular risk of patients with DKD is much higher than that of the general population, and cardiovascular diseases is the main cause of death in patients with DKD.

We plan to enroll 72 volunteer patients with microalbuminuria. After 1 week waiting period (as the waiting list group), the patients will be randomized to on-venous laser irradiation of blood and low dose OLIB group. Each group will include 36 patients and given intervention three times a week. The intervention will then be crossed over to the other one after 1 week of wash-our period. Outcome measurement includes questionnaires, biochemistry analysis, urine routine analysis.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

treatment group A

We plan to enroll 72 volunteer patients with microalbuminuria. After 1 week waiting period (as the waiting list group), the patients will be randomized to treatment group A or group B.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

On-venous Laser Irradiation of Blood

Intervention Type DEVICE

The treatment will take place three times a week, over six weeks. The On-venous Laser will placed in the body for 60 minutes. A total of 15 laser heads (15 acupoints, bilaterally) will be used in each session.

low dose On-venous Laser Irradiation of Blood

Intervention Type DEVICE

The treatment will take place three times a week, over six weeks. The low dose On-venous Laser will placed in the body for 60 minutes. A total of 15 laser heads (15 acupoints, bilaterally) will be used in each session.

treatment group B

We plan to enroll 72 volunteer patients with microalbuminuria. After 1 week waiting period (as the waiting list group), the patients will be randomized to treatment group A or group B.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

On-venous Laser Irradiation of Blood

Intervention Type DEVICE

The treatment will take place three times a week, over six weeks. The On-venous Laser will placed in the body for 60 minutes. A total of 15 laser heads (15 acupoints, bilaterally) will be used in each session.

low dose On-venous Laser Irradiation of Blood

Intervention Type DEVICE

The treatment will take place three times a week, over six weeks. The low dose On-venous Laser will placed in the body for 60 minutes. A total of 15 laser heads (15 acupoints, bilaterally) will be used in each session.
