Military Explores Light Therapy for Brain Injuries.

The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) is taking steps to explore how noninvasive, nondrug light therapy can help military members and veterans recover from traumatic brain injuries (TBI).

Transcranial photobiomodulation (PBM) uses red- and near-infrared light rays to stimulate mitochondria to restore cell function. The technology is rapidly showing promise in treating a variety of medical conditions such as drug addiction, pain, and mental health disorders.
