Methodological issues in visible LED therapy dermatological research and reporting

Abstract
The advent of mass-market Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) has seen considerable interest in potential dermatological applications of LED light photobiomodulation (PBM) for a range of conditions, with a thriving market for direct-to-consumer LED treatments, including red light, blue light, and yellow light wavelengths. Evidence of efficacy is however mixed, and studies report a wide range of irradiances and wavelengths as well as outcome measures, rendering interpretation, comparison, and even efficacy evaluation prohibitive and impeding evidence synthesis.
