Near Infrared Light therapy
 

While looking for a NIR light therapy device to help my shoulder recover from surgery, I found these systems that use the wave lengths suggested in studies for treating brain injuries.

I googled "light therapy brain" and found many articles.

The research is here.

This study used LLLT frequencies similar to the reVive Pain Therapy system

This study used LLLT frequencies similar to the reVive Anti-Aging Facial system.

Here are some places that sell these systems.

I have had LLLT for the past 15 weeks for PCS in a Physiotherapy clinic. Unfortunately it has not been a success. There have been successes with other patients in other areas, I was the only PCS client. For now we have stopped and may revisit it again in the future. I had some medication changes midway through which may have clouded results. Would like to hear if others have tried and had success.

quick reaction: is this something similar to the LLLT used for hair loss?

If so, it is made in a hat shape which is convenient for us..

Thanks

The Theradome uses only 678 nm wavelength. It claims to stimulate the mitochondria similar to what the research says. At $900, it is a lot pricier for the convenience of a put it on and wear it device. It also says it only penetrates 3-5 mm. The TBI research used systems that penetrated up to 3 cm (30 mm). I'm not impressed with the manufacturers hype over laser vs LED technology. Wave length is wave length. Wattage is wattage. Laser vs LED does not make much difference.

I asked because I already heave it :) Have avoided having it on though cause I was not sure it would help. Worth a try?
