Ambient green light reduces knee pain in osteoarthritis patients
Key Points
Knee pain substantially decreases with daily exposure to ambient green light, improving quality of life.
The study indicates effective pain relief following ambient green light exposure for patients with osteoarthritis.
Observational analysis shows a link between ambient green light and central pain modulation pathways.
These findings suggest a potential new therapy for managing osteoarthritis pain, but further research is needed.
Abstract
Daily exposure to ambient green light had a beneficial effect on OA knee pain. The neural pathways between the visual system and central pain modulation regions requires further investigation.
