Recent research highlights the potential benefits of low-level light therapy in enhancing brain connectivity after moderate traumatic brain injuries, though its long-term effects and clinical implications remain to be fully understood.Lights of different wavelengths have been studied for years for their wound-healing properties.
Of the 38 patients in the trial, 21 did not receive light therapy while wearing the helmet. This was done to serve as a control to minimize bias due to patient characteristics and to avoid potential placebo effects. Patients who received low-level light therapy showed a greater change in resting-state connectivity in seven brain region pairs during the acute-to-subacute recovery phase compared to the control participants.
“There is still a lot of work to be done to understand the exact physiological mechanism behind these effects,” said study coauthor Suk-tak Chan, Ph.D., a biomedical engineer at MGH.
