LASER LIGHT THERAPY CENTER ANNOUCNES IRB STUDY FOR TREATMENT OF SYMPTOMS OF ANXIETY DISORDERS DELRAY BEACH, FL ( July 25, 2008)– David A. Gross, M.D., DFAPA, and Andrew Rosen, Ph.D., FAACP, are pleased to announce an IRB Investigational Review Board Study for alternative treatments for symptoms of anxiety and stress disorders. The study is being conducted under the auspices of the FDA. The Laser Light Therapy Center of Delray is one of the first centers of its kind to offer alternative treatments that merge the latest advances in lasers and western medical practices with concepts of eastern medicine in a multi-disciplinary therapeutic setting. Laser Light Therapy, also referred to as Photomedicine, is one of the fastest growing fields of healthcare today. The new study will benefit patients who suffer from substance abuse, pain syndromes such as fibromyalgis, smoking and anxiety and stress. According to Dr. Gross, a Delray Beach psychiatrist with more than 30 years of private practice, anxiety and stress are two of the biggest contributors to poor health and disease, not to mention emotional and mental well being. "Every day I see patients who suffer not only emotional and mental disorders, but physical complications caused by stress and anxiety," he said. "It also causes a reliance on prescription and over-the-counter drugs. The result is a wide range of medical conditions and complaints that can become bigger problems if not treated. Anxiety, insomnia, headaches, substance abuse, and pain disorders like fibromyalgia, are just a few." Dr. Rosen, co- founder of the Center, who is a psychologist who specializes in anxiety disorders, explained that the goal of the Center is to offer alternative therapeutic treatments using the latest advances in Laser Light Medicine. "The mind and body are a marvel of invention and inter-connectedness," he said. "We want to address the symptoms of these disorders through the application of a low level energy device that delivers laser light energy to specialized body points." How it works: According to the doctors, the low level laser device is a very different type of laser than the ones used in hospitals for surgery and for cosmetic purposes. The low level laser device is FDA approved and is specially designed for the purpose of stimulating carefully selected body points with the low level laser energy. It is not only convenient for the patient, but also painless," they explained. Benefits: A typical session lasts about 20 minutes. After treatment, patients find the experience both relaxing and rejuvenating. Many patients have reported positive results including: reduced stress and anxiety, improved sleeping, smoking cessation, fewer headaches, pain reduction, and less dependence on prescription drugs.
