LLLT has been discussed here a few times, and I just stumbled on this interesting article in a laser magazine of all places.
Laser Focus World - May 2 16 Zoom in when trying to read the text.

12/02/2012 - Light concussion at boxing practice. Ended up having PCS for about 3 months. March 2013 - Thought that since most of my symptoms resolved I could start having fun again. Went snowmobiling once (didn't hit my head) and concussion symptoms returned and got even worse than before. June 2013 - accidentally bumped my head against a deck railing, and had a month-long setback. November 2013 - drove to work after a big snowstorm and the roads were very rough, ended up having another setback. 2014 - Having setbacks after coughing/sneezing too much, or someone slapping me on the back, or any other significant jarring. Feb 2014 - Started seeing Atlas Orthogonal chiro - most helpful doc so far. June 2014 - Two months of physical/visual therapy - no noticeable improvement. September 2014 - Diagnosed with Perilymph Fistula in right ear. November 2014 - Fistula surgery (switched to left ear before the surgery after additional testing). January 2016 - Quit work to "work" on figuring out PCS, so far it seems that eyes/vision issues are the most contributing factor, especially computer work. Current symptoms are: inconsistent sleep patterns, headaches, vertigo/dizziness, anxiety/panic attacks, mental fog/problems with concentration, problems with computer screens. |

LLLT has great value in dermatology. The limitation it has limits its use with TBI. It can only penetrate about 1 to 2 centimeters at best. Great for skin care but not much help with TBI. The in-vitro research is well within this limited penetration. The Mass General research is with dermatology uses.
I have a LLLT system in the wavelength for tendon and such repair. It caused more inflammation than benefit. Maybe there will come a day when they have found a safe way to get deeper penetration without over-exposing the surface tissues like they can do in radial radiotherapy for tumors.

Mark, what LLLT system do you have?
I just bought the CCTV mentioned here: The Brain and Mental Health Benefits of Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) — Optimal Living Dynamics and here: The Benefits of Infrared, Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) and Photobiomodulation - Selfhacked |

It seems 810nm can reach 5cm into skull in places so conceivable to support some of the conginitive and neuro genesis improvements in mice. It seems for cost($200)and low risk of therapy, it’s worth trying. |

I started using light therapy for my peripheral neuropathy but stopped after 4 weeks due to concern that because it promotes cell growth, it might also promote the growth of cancer cells--I have multiple myeloma. I'd appreciate any thoughts or opinions.

The TBI/PCS forum is not the place for this question.
A cancer forum might be better. Photobiomodulation and Cancer: What Is the Truth? Multiple Myeloma Side Effects- CIPN, Oral Mucositis, Low-level Laser Light Therapy- PeopleBeatingCancer Using Light To Eliminate Multiple Myeloma at Washington University - The Myeloma Crowd
