Summary
This study tested whether adding photobiomodulation (light therapy) to standard care helps military trainees with leg or foot stress fractures heal faster. 105 participants received either active or sham light therapy for up to 6 weeks, and researchers tracked how quickly they returned to duty. The goal was to see if the light treatment reduces pain and speeds recovery.
