Red and Infrared LED Treatment for Traumatic Brain Injury, Depression and PTSD Case Report

Red light therapy brain dose

Two Chronic Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) patients who also had depression or post trauamtic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms  received 633 nm red and 870 nm transcranial light treatment of 13.3 J/cm^2 10 minutes per site, 1x/weeek for 6 years, or 1x/day for 4 months. Researchers treated bilateral left and right forehead (“and multiple other areas”).  At the time of measurement, each had improved executive function, memory and PTSD symptoms.

Laser Infrared on Palm Changes Brainwave Amplitude

Red light therapy brain dose

In a 2012 study researchers irradiated 40 healthy volunteers with 830 nm infrared laser light with a dose of 7 mW/diode, 6 diodes, 20 J/cm^2, 10 minutes, pulsed at 10 Hz on the left palm

The treatment increased alpha and theta amplitude in the posterior head region, and decreased beta amplitude in the anterior head region.
