Photobiomodulation for traumatic brain injury and stroke
Conclusion
The study investigated the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) in animal models and human participants who had experienced brain injury (traumatic brain injury and stroke).
PBM is a treatment method that uses red or near-infrared light (600–1100 nm) to promote healing in the brain, enhance mitochondrial function, and improve blood flow and tissue oxygenation.
Subjects who received PBM treatment showed improvements in cognitive function, memory, and sleep quality, along with activation of specific brain networks, and these outcomes demonstrated statistically significant improvement (p < 0.05).
