Photobiomodulation Therapy: a Narrative Review
Red and near-infrared light (600–1100 nm) can reach the brain and help its cells work better by improving energy production and blood flow.
What Did They Discover?
Research shows that photobiomodulation (PBM) can improve memory, mood, sleep, and alertness.
Patients with Alzheimer’s disease showed better cognitive function and higher cerebral blood flow.
People with traumatic brain injury reported fewer headaches and better sleep.
Those with depression improved after several sessions.
Even healthy volunteers showed better attention and short-term memory after 1064 nm light treatment.
How Does It Work?
The light is absorbed by an enzyme in mitochondria called cytochrome c oxidase.
This increases ATP (cell energy) and nitric oxide, which widens blood vessels and improves oxygen delivery.
It also reduces inflammation and protects neurons from damage.
Why Does It Matter?
PBM is non-invasive and safe, and it may help brain function without drugs.
It could become a useful option for people with neurological problems such as Alzheimer’s disease, depression, or brain injury.
However, more clinical trials are needed to confirm results and decide the best light dose and duration.

600–1100 nm
Main target
Human studies (Salgado 2015; Vargas 2017) show higher middle-cerebral-artery velocity and enhanced EEG/BOLD signals.
Cytochrome c oxidase (mitochondria)
ATP ↑ CBF ↑ (20–30 %) Inflammation ↓ Cognition ↑
Conclusion
Brain photobiomodulation therapy helps brain cells make more energy, improves blood flow, and reduces inflammation.
Studies report better cognition, mood, and sleep in patients and healthy people.
It is a promising but still developing therapy that needs larger, well-controlled studies to confirm its long-term benefits.
