DEVICE FOR PHOTO-THERAPY OF GROVER'S DISEASE AND USE THEREOF
The present invention provides a photo-therapy device and its use for treatment of skin conditions such as rashes or similar dermatological conditions that are exhibited by Grover's disease or other diseases which are associated or co-existent with Grover's disease. The treatment includes exposure of the subject's affected skin and preferably the entire body with blue LED light to improve skin status by stimulating body's immune system to reduce itching, blotchiness and skin discomfort.
LIGHT THERAPY BED WITH ILLUMINATED MESH SUPPORT STRUCTURE
Apparatus and method for applying photobiomodulation (PBM) light illumination therapy to a patient. A light therapy bed has a PBM mesh structure supported by a rigid frame to form a patient support surface adapted to contactingly support the patient. The mesh structure has respective illuminating and non-illuminating strands which interconnect to form a conformable, open hammock-type support structure with an array of mesh apertures extending therethrough. The illuminating strands have light sources such as light emitting diodes (LEDs) which emit electromagnetic radiation at one or more selected frequencies. A control circuit activates the light sources in accordance with a selected modulation profile. In further embodiments, an upper PBM mesh structure can be lowered to concurrently irradiate the patient. The open mesh areas can constitute 50% or more of the overall areal extent of the mesh to provide patient cooling and application of additional light from a supplemental source.
