SCI TECH DAILY: Healing Through the Skull: Infrared Light Therapy Offers New Hope for Brain Injury Recovery
Scientists in Birmingham have shown that near-infrared light therapy can accelerate recovery from mild traumatic brain injury by reducing inflammation and cell death. This promising approach may lead to a new treatment for mTBI, with researchers aiming to develop it into a medical device.
Scientists in Birmingham have demonstrated that transcranial light therapy, delivered through the skull, can promote tissue repair following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).
Their research, published in the journal Bioengineering & Translational Medicine, indicates that this novel method could result in a new treatment option in an area of medicine that currently has few, if any, treatment options.
