PBMT ni uburyo bwo kuvura hakoreshejwe urumuri rwa laser cyangwa LED butuma ingingo zisana neza (ibisebe by'uruhu, imitsi, imitsi, amagufwa, imitsi), bugabanya ububabare kandi bugagabanya ububabare aho hose hakoreshejwe urumuri.
Byagaragaye ko PBMT yihutisha gukira, igabanya kwangirika kw'imitsi no kugabanya ububabare nyuma yo gukora imyitozo ngororamubiri.
Mu gihe cya Space Shuttle, NASA yashakaga kwiga uburyo ibimera bikura mu kirere. Ariko, urumuri rwakoreshwaga mu gutera ibimera ku Isi ntirwahuye n'ibyo byari bikenewe; rwakoreshaga ingufu nyinshi kandi rutanga ubushyuhe bwinshi.
Mu myaka ya 1990, Ikigo cya Wisconsin gishinzwe ikoranabuhanga ry’ikirere n’amarobotiki cyafatanyije na Quantum Devices Inc. guteza imbere isoko ry’urumuri rifatika. Bakoresheje diode zitanga urumuri (LED) mu buvumbuzi bwabo, Astroculture3. Astroculture3 ni icyumba cyo gukuramo ibimera, gikoresha amatara ya LED, NASA yakoresheje neza mu butumwa bwinshi bwo kohereza ibintu mu kirere.
Bidatinze, NASA yavumbuye uburyo urumuri rwa LED rushobora gukoreshwa atari ku buzima bw'ibimera gusa, ahubwo no ku bakinnyi bo mu kirere ubwabo. Kuba mu kirere kiri hasi, uturemangingo tw'umuntu ntitwongera kuvuka vuba, kandi abahanga mu by'ikirere babura amagufwa n'imitsi. Bityo NASA yahindukiriye ubuvuzi bwa photobiomodulation (PBMT). Ubuvuzi bwa photobiomodulation busobanurwa nk'uburyo bwo kuvura urumuri bukoresha amasoko y'urumuri rudakoresha iyonizing, harimo na laser, diodes zitanga urumuri, na/cyangwa urumuri rwa broadband, mu buryo bugaragara (400 - 700 nm) na near-infrared (700 - 1100 nm) electromagnetic spectrum. Ni inzira idakoresha ubushyuhe irimo chromophores endogenous ituma habaho fotofiziki (ni ukuvuga, linear na nonlinear) na photochemical events ku bipimo bitandukanye bya biyoloji. Iyi nzira itanga umusaruro mwiza mu kuvura harimo ariko ntigarukira gusa ku kugabanya ububabare, immunomodulation, no guteza imbere gukira kw'ibikomere no kuvugurura ingingo. Ijambo photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy ubu riri gukoreshwa n'abashakashatsi n'abakora aho gukoresha amagambo nka low level laser therapy (LLLT), cold laser, cyangwa laser therapy.
Ibikoresho byo kuvura urumuri bikoresha ubwoko butandukanye bw'urumuri, kuva ku rumuri rudagaragara, hafi ya infrarouge runyuze mu mirasire igaragara (umutuku, umuhondo, umuhondo, icyatsi kibisi, n'ubururu), bihagarara mbere y'imirasire yangiza ya ultraviolet. Kugeza ubu, ingaruka z'urumuri rutukura n'iruhande rwa infrarouge nizo zisuzumwa cyane; urumuri rutukura rukunze gukoreshwa mu kuvura indwara z'uruhu, mu gihe hafi ya infrarouge ishobora kwinjira cyane, ikanyura mu ruhu no mu magufwa ndetse no mu bwonko. Umucyo w'ubururu ufatwa nk'uwiza cyane mu kuvura indwara kandi ukunze gukoreshwa ku ndwara z'ibiheri. Ingaruka z'urumuri rw'icyatsi kibisi n'umuhondo ntizumvikana neza, ariko icyatsi kibisi gishobora kongera ibara ry'uruhu, naho umuhondo ukagabanya ifoto.
