Summary

This is a proof-of-concept study designed to demonstrate whether increases in cerebral blood flow, improvements in brain functioning, and reductions in symptomology associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI) can result from treatments consisting of near-infrared phototherapy (NIR).

Conditions

  • TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury)

Interventions

DEVICE

Near-Infrared Phototherapy

The In Light Wellness Systems Near-Infrared Phototherapy Device (manufactured by In Light Wellness Systems, Inc.) contains alternating rows of 402 red (640 nm) and infrared (880 nm) light-emitting diodes embedded in 2 neoprene pads. One pad circles the skull, providing 720 Joules/min, and the other pad covers the top of the head, providing 360 joules/min. For each treatment session, the "A" setting on the 3-port controller is utilized, which runs approximately 6.7 min of 73 Hz, 587 Hz, and 1175 Hz in an automated sequential manner. No other interventions were utilized.
