Highlights Laser needle acupuncture was associated with measurable changes in brain-related signals, including cerebral blood flow and fMRI activation patterns. Because the stimulation is typically imperceptible, researchers can run true...
Highlights Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) involves neurovascular dysfunction and chronic pain. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) improved nerve conduction and microcirculation. Laser-treated patients experienced greater pain reduction than controls. Improvements were...
Highlights In a study of healthy older women, transcranial LED light therapy was linked to increases in brain blood-flow speed in specific arteries. The clearest changes were seen in the...
Highlights Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a non-thermal light therapy using red and near-infrared wavelengths. PBM acts primarily at the mitochondrial level, especially on cytochrome c oxidase. The therapy modulates ATP production,...
Highlights Safe at different settings: People tolerated all transcranial PBM settings well. Side effects like placebo: Reported side effects were about the same as the “fake” session. No changes in...
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects communication, behavior, and social interaction in millions of children worldwide. While traditional therapies focus on behavioral and educational interventions, recent pilot studies suggest that light-based...
Highlights Depression is one of the most pressing mental health crises worldwide. In this context, Photobiomodulation (PBM) has emerged as a promising therapy. However, there is still no standardized protocol...
