Popis: Abstract Photobiomodulation (PBM) has emerged as a rapidly growing and innovative therapeutic method for various illnesses in recent years. Due to the irreversible nature of Parkinson's disease (PD), it has proven challenging to impede or postpone the progression of the disease. Despite research on pharmacological approaches to halt neuronal degeneration, the viability of these techniques has been called into doubt due to apprehensions over potential side effects and the ethical implications associated with the utilization of embryonic cell transplantation. Hence, developing an innovative therapeutic approach to halting neuronal degeneration and safeguarding neurons from this neurodegenerative disorder is imperative. This review examines the pathogenesis, challenges, and limitations of conventional PD therapies, allowing a closer examination of PBM's distinctive approach within this medical context. Delving into PBM's therapeutic mechanisms in the cells, the effects of different wavelengths on cell therapies in PD patients, and considerations for patient care administration to overcome traditional challenges, this study offers insights into its potential as a promising avenue for PD management.
