<p>Prevention or treatment of mucositis in bone marrow transplant patients is achieved by administering laser energy to the affected tissue, the laser light beam being characterized by a wavelength of 630 to 950 nanometers at about 10 to 60 milliwatts and applied to the tissue at the rate of 0.5 to 2.0 joules per cm2. Periodic treatments before, during and/or after conditioning with agents such as cyclophosphamide and TBI result in reduction of severity of symptoms observed in mucositis.</p> |
