It will also learn about the safety of this treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are:\n\n1. Does low-level laser therapy lower pain more than a sham (placebo) laser treatment?\n2. Does low-level laser therapy improve daily and sport-related function more than a sham laser treatment?\n3. What medical problems, if any, do participants have during the study?\n\nResearchers will compare active low-level laser therapy to a sham (placebo) laser treatment. The sham treatment looks and feels the same but does not deliver therapeutic light. This comparison will show whether the laser therapy works better than placebo.\n\nParticipants will:\n\n* Complete screening and a baseline visit\n* Be randomly assigned to active laser therapy or sham laser therapy\n* Receive a series of treatment sessions over \\[2 weeks\\]\n* Answer short questionnaires about pain and function at baseline and follow-up visits\n* Have ultrasound imaging and\u002For provide blood or urine samples for research measurements\n\nBoth participants and the study team who assess outcomes will not know which treatment group each participant is in until the study ends.",[86,87],"Osgood-Schlatter Disease","Sever's Disease",[27,89,86,90,91,92,93],"Photobiomodulation","Apophysitis","Traction Apophysitis","Heel Pain","Tibial Tubercle Pain","2026-03-14",{"date":96,"type":97},"2026-03-17","ACTUAL",{"date":99,"type":97},"2026-03-01",{"date":101,"type":80},"2029-02-01",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
