In recent years, light therapy has been gradually applied to the treatment of inflammation. Different from conventional high-color-temperature light sources, low-color-temperature yellow light (1900 K) without a blue light spectrum was selected as the light source to research its preventive effects on chemotherapy-induced phlebitis in this study. Based on a series of inflammatory characterization experiments, the results manifested that the reasonable utilization of 1900 K yellow light had a good effect on the prevention of phlebitis. This study shows that this is a feasible and promising method for preventing phlebitis and relieving pain, while providing a theoretical basis for the further investigation of the anti-inflammatory effects on phlebitis.
