FDA Clearances
Erchonia establishes new indications through double-blind, randomized, multi-site, placebo-controlled clinical trials — the highest standard in clinical testing. Most cleared devices never run one.
Each pain indication below was a first of its kind for laser therapy — part of Erchonia’s 25 FDA clearances.

HOW RARE THIS STANDARD IS
Over 90%
of 510(k) devices clear with no new clinical trial data — on equivalence to an earlier device plus bench testing.
OUR CONTROL ARM IS AN LED
In these trials the placebo device is an LED — the same light sold elsewhere as therapy. The laser beat it every time. Figures show laser / LED sham.
