A new study conducted by the Department of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Naples Federico II confirms the value of the ongoing scientific research behind ASA's technological solutions. The trial analysed the effects of laser puncture, a methodology that combines the principles of traditional acupuncture with laser-induced photobiomodulation, in the treatment of canine osteoarthritis.
A non-invasive approach to managing chronic pain
The research — conducted on a group of 19 dogs with osteoarthritis — showed how the use of MLS® technology (with ASAveterinary's M-VET device) led to a significant improvement in joint mobility and a reduction in pain.
Animals treated with laser puncture showed:
- a marked decrease in inflammatory markers (IL-6)
- an increase in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory markers (IL-10, BAP),
proof of a positive modulation of the biological response and of a long-lasting analgesic effect.
M-VET and MLS® Laser Therapy
The laser used in the study, M-VET, uses a synchronised dual wavelength system (808 and 905 nm), capable of penetrating deep into tissue and of amplifying the therapeutic effects of laser therapy. This combination of continuous and pulsed emissions is the basis of the patented MLS® technology, developed by ASA.
Towards integrated veterinary medicine
The study's results pave the way for new perspectives in the non-pharmacological management of pain and inflammation. In particular, laser puncture has proved to be an ideal solution for those subjects for whom pharmacological treatments are contraindicated, offering a non-invasive therapy, free from side effects, and based on solid scientific evidence.
A further step forward in ASA's mission, a company which has always been committed to combining science, technology, and concrete clinical results.
