 | | Monochromatic infrared energy (MIRE) refers to light at a wavelength of 880nm. |
 | | The proposed mechanism of action is not known, although some sort of photobiostimulation has been proposed, as well as increased circulation related to an increase in plasma of the potent vasodilator, nitric oxide. |
 | | Skin contact monochromatic infrared energy is considered investigational as a treatment technique for any indication, including but not limited to cutaneous ulcers, diabetic neuropathy, and musculoskeletal conditions, such as temporomandibular disorders, tendonitis, capsulitis, and myofascial pain. |
