Traumatic Brain Injury and Photobiomodulation Archives

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a category where you will find articles and research relevant to TBI and photobiomodulation (PBM). Recent research into the applications of PBM in helping those with TBI is showing promise. More specifically, the research is focusing on the use of transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) as a modality for traumatic brain injury.

This category includes articles based on the scientific research, as well as interviews with prominent researchers. Only recently, the scientists started to explore the effects of tPBM on those suffering from TBI. As you may see in the interviews, the outcomes are very favourable and warrant bigger studies.

Media Spotlight | NBC affiliates feature Vielight in TBI research and BYU’s breakout season

Two TV features in one weekend This past weekend, two NBC affiliates shined a spotlight on how athletes and researchers are using the Vielight Neuro to support brain performance and recovery. KSL-TV 5 (Salt Lake City, UT) aired a section focusing on an inside look at the Vielight Neuro, which BYU Football athletes are [...]

Second Phase of Utah TBI Research Strengthens Case for Vielight Neuro in Treating Cognitive Deficits

Tim Thomas (NHL All-Star 4x) | TBI and Mold Recovery | Vielight Testimonial

“I received my Vielight sometime in December, and I’ve been using it since then. It has helped me in many ways. The inflammation in the brain is nearly completely gone as far as I can feel. I plan on continuing to use it for the rest of my life.” Tim Thomas, former NHL goalkeeper [...]

Neuro-Optometric TBI Lecture | Vielight (tPBM) Technology | Dr Fitzgerald and Dr. Shidlofsky

Introduction Concussions, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), and neurodegenerative conditions present ongoing challenges in neurorehabilitation. During a recent lecture delivered by leading neuro-optometrists Dr. Charles Shidlofsky and Dr. DeAnn Fitzgerald, attendees were introduced to a novel adjunctive modality in neurorehabilitation: the Vielight Neuro, a non-invasive photobiomodulation (PBM) technology designed to deliver near-infrared (NIR) light to [...]

Groundbreaking U of Utah TBI Study with Vielight Neuro | The Effect of Intranasal Plus Transcranial Photobiomodulation on TBI

This article is based on independent TBI research conducted with the Vielight Neuro Gamma by the University of Utah Vielight Neuro Gamma Brain photobiomodulation (PBM) with the Vielight Neuro Gamma was explored as a therapy for brain injuries by neurology professors from the University of Utah with Vielight's patented simultaneous intranasal and transcranial [...]

TBI Recovery and Photobiomodulation Research Paper Published | Dr. Lew Lim

This blog article summarizes a published study by Vielight's founder, Dr. Lew Lim, on how PBM could potentially help with TBI. Link to the full study. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a big problem worldwide, but solutions are still unavailable. This is because TBI is complicated and involve different factors going wrong in the [...]

Vielight Bi-Annual Update

Vielight Neuro Gamma Shines in a Brain Injury Study The sports medicine community recognizes that concussions from repetitive blows to the head are major public health concerns. To address this issue, Vielight is dedicating resources to seek for a solution using non-invasive transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) modality. We try to be a part of the [...]

What Can A Chronic Stroke Patients Study Reveal?

What can a research study reveal and where can it lead? These are the main questions that we are discussing in this blog post. Hence, focusing on the subject of what a chronic stroke patients study can tell, we take a dive into a researcher's world of science, analysis and discovery. Last month we [...]

Default Mode Network Photobiomodulation

To discuss photobiomodulation and the brain’s default mode network we reached out to Prof. Margaret Naeser, at the VA Boston Healthcare System. She is a Research Professor of Neurology, Boston University School of Medicine. She kindly provided us with some in-depth, detailed information. We asked her to answer a few questions related to her [...]

Light therapy treatment – research journey

Light therapy treatments, or photobiomodulation (PBM), has been a subject of heated debates and numerous attacks. Many skeptics and people distant from the science are questioning the benefits of photobiomodulation. Some of them out right rejecting the existence of the therapeutic benefits. Thus, using red and near infrared light (NIR) for therapeutic effects has [...]
