The Sham Laser Group will receive a sham LLLT procedure (no laser energy) and the Active Laser Group will receive an active LLLT procedure (laser energy).\n\nBoth groups will undergo 3 LLLT procedures per week for 3 weeks, for a total of 9 LLLT procedures. Whether the procedure will be a sham procedure (placebo) or an active LLLT application will be determined by randomization which will assign subjects to be treated with an LCT-1000TM labeled either Laser A or Laser B. The only difference between Laser A and Laser B is that one does not emit laser energy; therefore, both subjects and site research personnel will be blinded as to whether laser energy is actually applied to the subject.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'FEMALE', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion
