"Light Therapy Boosts Brain Repair Post-Injury"

A study by Massachusetts General Hospital found that low-level light therapy (LLLT) increases brain connectivity in patients with moderate traumatic brain injury during the acute-to-subacute recovery phases. Using functional MRI, researchers observed greater changes in resting-state connectivity in patients treated with near-infrared light compared to a control group. While the therapy showed initial benefits, long-term effects and precise mechanisms remain unclear, necessitating further research.
