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 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3065857/ This study used LLLT frequencies similar to the reVive Anti-Aging Facial system. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3104287/ Here are some places that sell these systems. http://revivelighttherapy.com/ http://revivelighttherapy.com/pages/science http://revivelighttherapy.com/collections/all-products http://www.kohls.com/search.jsp?sear...web-ta-keyword Here are more articles. http://www.biocaresystems.com/fileup...ed%20Light.pdf http://www.prnewswire.com/news-relea...300131804.html |

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?

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.
