Infrared Light Therapy Archives - Page 2 of 2

Infrared light therapy is a form of of photobiomodulation. The benefits of this therapy, as well as of near infrared light therapy are undergoing extensive studies. Our content in this category will focus on therapeutic effects associated with these light therapies. Although evidence-based data will take precedence, some anecdotal evidence will be a part of the discussion.

Vielight Commences COVID-19 Clinical Trial in USA and Ontario

UPDATE: The 294 patient clinical trial was successful: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.06.16.22276503v1 Finally, Vielight is ready to commence its clinical trial for COVID-19. The recruitment of subjects for this trial has started in the USA and in Ontario, Canada. Readers may recall our intention to test the efficacy of our X-Plus device on COVID-19 in April 2020. [...]

Biohacking Extraordinary Brain Functions

“Photo-Neuro-Hacking” is here! Vielight with its photobiomodulation (PBM) technology, has been the subject of growing interest in the field of biohacking of the brain. The delivery of light to influence brain functions is appealing to many biohackers. Not surprisingly, most are seeking ways to achieve that in an uncomplicated and affordable way, without the [...]

Photobiomodulation Creates Multi-factorial Pathways

Poster accepted and presented at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference, 2019 Pathways Photobiomodulation (PBM) in this presentation concerns the delivery of near infrared (NIR) to the brain to treat Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) using a home-use device, the Vielight Neuro Gamma. The key parameters are wavelength of 810 nm, pulse rate of 40 Hz, targeting [...]

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 [...]

Photobiomodulation Therapy Discussion: Opinions from Leading Photobiomodulation Researchers

Introduction In our attempt to help many interested in the subject of photobiomodulation therapy and the science behind it, we asked two well-respected scientists and researchers to join us. They kindly agreed to participate in a photobiomodulation therapy discussion and even dived into its applications, including transcranial photbiomodulation. They offered their unique takes on [...]

A Scientific Report Sheds Light on Unanswered Questions

Newcomers to the world of brain photobiomodulation, as well as skeptics, often ask these three questions: “1. Can light penetrate into the brain? 2. Does the brain respond to photobiomodulation (PBM)? and 3. Does the brain respond positively?” Nature Scientific Reports published a paper in April 2019, titled “Pulsed Near Infrared Transcranial and Intranasal [...]

Jay Sanguinetti’s Research in tPBM, Non-invasive Treatment Modalities and Meditation

Neuroimaging modalities like fMRI have begun to uncover the brain areas that are dysfunctional in disorders like depression. Non-invasive neuromodulation technologies like transcranial photobiomodulation allow us to target those brain areas for new treatments. tPBM is such an easy and cost-effective form of neuromodulation that the technology could be scaled rather quickly. In late [...]

Continuing PBM Research Efforts

Continuing Efforts and Findings in PBM Research On March 21, 2019, pharmaceutical giants Biogen and Eisai announced they were discontinuing their much-anticipated clinical trial. It was the final phase of one of the most promising Alzheimer’s Disease drugs under trials, aducanumab. This announcement was heart-breaking for those who had been holding out for it. [...]

Transcranial PBM for Traumatic Brain Injuries: New Studies

Improvement in Brain Injury Cases Employing Transcranial PBM Research suggests that transcranial Photobiomodulation (tPBM) could be helpful with long-term symptoms from repeated head injuries in professional contact sports. Two cases reported by Dr. Margaret Naeser, Boston University Medical School, conducted at the Boston VA Medical Center, support this. The subjects were retired professional football players [...]
