Cutting through the hype; An evidence-based evaluation of laser and regenerative technologies in veterinary medicine (LVS25)

To critically assess the current scientific evidence supporting the use of laser therapy and regenerative medicine (e.g., stem cells, platelet-rich plasma) in veterinary practice, separating marketing claims from clinically relevant outcomes. What do we need to look for in the technology to be successful?

• To critically evaluate the current scientific evidence supporting the use of laser and regenerative therapies in veterinary medicine
• To differentiate between well-supported clinical applications and those lacking robust evidence or driven by marketing claims
• To understand the mechanisms, indications, and limitations of laser therapy, stem cell treatments, and platelet-rich plasma in veterinary practice
• To apply evidence-based decision-making to determine when and how to incorporate these technologies into clinical care responsibly
