Photobiomodulation therapy in the treatment of genitourinary syndrome in postmenopausal women - a placebo-controlled double-blind clinical trial

Listen to this summary

This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy in treating genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) symptoms, particularly urinary incontinence, in postmenopausal women. The results indicated that PBM therapy significantly reduced urinary loss and improved vaginal health, suggesting it as a promising non-invasive treatment option. However, further research is needed to assess long-term effects and refine treatment protocols.
