TREATMENT OF RECURRENT URINARY TRACT INFECTION BY 538NM (GREEN COLOUR) ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION

Abstract

The study objective was to conduct a randomized, placebo controlled clinical trial to assess the treatment option of recurrent urinary tract infections (RUTIs) by color therapy, an alternative treatment recently emerging with serious scientific background. Sixty pregnant female patients with the history of RUTIs were enrolled in Mansoorah Al-Khidmat Teaching Hospital, Lahore (Pakistan) between 17th October to 27th October, 2015. Chromotherapy was adopted as the method of treatment for RUTIs for one group (n=30), using the method of hydrochromotherapy. Green Chromotized water was given to the patients. The remaining patients (n=30) were given placebo treatment. At the end of three-week study, the patients free of UTI was significantly lower in chromotherapy group as compared to placebo (p<0.001 by Log-Rank test). It was concluded that 538 nm radiations can be used for treating RUTIs in the presence of anti-microbial resistance.
