Resources arrow Clinical Trials and Studies

The following information regarding clinical trials and studies utilizes theLED technology for pain relief developed by Quantum Devices, Inc. It is the same and only LED technology used by NASA. Warp Light Therapy makes no claims that WARP 10® does anything beyond the FDA intended use. The FDA has stated that the Quantum WARP 10® Light Delivery System is a hand held device used for treatment of chronic pain by emitting energy in the Near-IR spectrum for the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain, arthritis and muscle spasm; relieving stiffness; promoting relaxation of muscle tissue; and to temporarily increase local blood circulation where applied.

We are sharing this information regarding clinical trials and studies to demonstrate the various uses with which Quantum Devices, Inc. LED HEALS® Technology is being used not only in space, but here on earth. And it's no coincidence, this same HEALS® technology is what you will find in the WARP 10®.

The vast majority of the research utilizing Quantum Devices, Inc. HEALS® Technology has been completed by three individuals at the Medical College of Wisconsin: Dr. Harry T. Whelan, MD., Dr. Janis Eells, Ph.D., and Dr. Margaret Wong-Riley, Ph.D. (See information below).

ALL research by Dr's. Whelan, Wong-Riley, and Eells at the Medical College of Wisconsin has been completed with Quantum Devices, Inc. LED arrays.

Harry T. Whelan, MD.
Dr. Whelan is Professor of Neurology, Pediatrics, and Hyperbaric Medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin. He has over ten years of experience conducting research on the use of new light technologies in the treatment of cancer and wounds.
