=== Photobiomodulation ===

Near-infrared light, or [[photobiomodulation]], is used for treatment of chemotherapy-induced oral ulceration as well as wound healing. There is some work relating to anti-herpes virus treatment.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Hargate |first=G |year=2006 |title=A randomised double-blind study comparing the effect of 1072-nm light against placebo for the treatment of herpes labialis |journal=Clinical and Experimental Dermatology |volume=31 |issue=5 |pages=638–41 |doi=10.1111/j.1365-2230.2006.02191.x |pmid=16780494 |s2cid=26977101}}</ref> Research projects include work on central nervous system healing effects via cytochrome c oxidase upregulation and other possible mechanisms.<ref>{{Cite journal |vauthors=Desmet KD, Paz DA, Corry JJ, Eells JT, Wong-Riley MT, Henry MM, Buchmann EV, Connelly MP, Dovi JV, Liang HL, Henshel DS, Yeager RL, Millsap DS, Lim J, Gould LJ, Das R, Jett M, Hodgson BD, Margolis D, Whelan HT |date=May 2006 |title=Clinical and experimental applications of NIR-LED photobiomodulation |url=https://epublications.marquette.edu/dentistry_fac/3 |url-status=live |journal=Photomedicine and Laser Surgery |volume=24 |issue=2 |pages=121–8 |doi=10.1089/pho.2006.24.121 |pmid=16706690 |s2cid=22442409 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200316014302/https://epublications.marquette.edu/dentistry_fac/3/ |archive-date=2020-03-16 |access-date=2019-06-13}}</ref>
