Laser acupuncture therapy, has shown potential in assisting with various types of addictions, and its efficacy can be explained through several scientific mechanisms:
By harnessing these scientific mechanisms, laser acupuncture offers a comprehensive approach to addressing addiction. It targets multiple aspects of addiction pathology, supporting individuals in their recovery journey.
Evidence Supporting the Effectiveness of Laser Therapy Treatment?
Numerous research articles have explored the role of Acupuncture in addiction and its potential for reducing and eliminating dependency.
In recent research (Lim 2018), Laser Acupuncture demonstrated an impressive 84% success rate, with many participants reporting a significant reduction in smoking urges. [11].
A double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized study concluded that laser acupoint stimulation effectively modifies the physical symptoms of withdrawal, providing motivated individuals with a higher chance of successfully overcoming tobacco smoking habits. [12]
According to the most recent Cochrane Systematic Review (White 2014), the 2008 Kerr study on laser stimulation demonstrates strongly positive results in both short and long-term outcomes. [13]

Earlier research findings indicate that Laser Acupuncture achieved a success rate of 71% in heavy smoking patients. [14]
While there is promising research available on the benefits of Laser Acupuncture treatments and protocols, it’s important to acknowledge that the evidence may not be entirely conclusive, as different studies have yielded varied results.
Factors such as laser power, frequency, point location, and the number of sessions can vary among studies, contributing to differing outcomes. Additionally, some studies rely on self-reported data, particularly regarding participants’ smoking status at the end of treatment. However, the reliability of these self-reports diminishes when not confirmed through biochemical testing.
It’s crucial to recognize that the NuLife Quit treatment method is distinct and can produce different outcomes compared to the existing research. Therefore, we encourage patients to make informed decisions, understanding that while our treatment holds potential benefits, successful outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
