Neural Function, Depression and Brain Diseases

• Changes in Brain Function After Self-Administered Photobiomodulation for TBI
  
  Veterans with traumatic brain injury self-treated with 810 nm LED devices for 8 weeks, leading to increased brain volume, better connectivity, improved blood flow, and enhanced cognitive performance.

• Whole-Head 810 nm NIR Therapy for Cognitive Impairment in Alzheimer's
  
  A clinical trial found that 810 nm NIR light applied to the whole head improved memory and thinking skills in Alzheimer's patients, suggesting benefits for brain diseases like dementia.

• 810 nm PBMT Mitigates Amyloid-Beta Toxicity in Cholinergic Neurons
  
  In cell models of Alzheimer's, 810 nm light reduced harmful protein buildup, protected brain cells involved in memory, and supported neuron survival, highlighting potential for neurodegenerative diseases.

• Transcranial Red/NIR LED Therapy for Traumatic Brain Injury
  
  Review of studies using 810 nm LEDs showed improved cognition in chronic TBI patients, with safe, non-invasive treatment enhancing neural recovery and function.
  
• Significant Cognition Improvement in Dementia with 810 nm PBM
  
  In a case series of mild to moderate dementia patients, 810 nm pulsed LED therapy led to notable gains in thinking, memory, and daily function, with no side effects.

• Three Doses of 810 nm Laser for Anxiety and Depression in Mice
  
  Different doses of 810 nm NIR light reduced anxiety and depressive behaviors in stressed mice by boosting serotonin and lowering brain stress markers. While this study used lasers, other studies show "LED light can be as effective as LASER, since both have similar biological effects, with no significant difference between them".

• Transcranial PBM for Opioid Use Disorder and Depression
  
  In patients with opioid addiction, 810 nm PBM reduced cravings and depressive symptoms, offering a non-invasive way to support mental health in brain-related disorders.

• 850 nm LED Improves Cognition and Blood Flow in Chronic Traumatic Brain Injury
  
  In a case study, a patient with chronic TBI received 146 sessions of 850 nm LED treatments on the forehead for 30 minutes each, leading to improved neuropsychological outcomes like better executive function, memory, and reduced PTSD symptoms, along with increased cerebral blood flow in hypoperfused areas.

• 850 nm LED (Combined with 670 nm) Shows Potential for Parkinson's Disease Treatment
  
  This review of studies highlights that LED therapy at 670 nm and 850 nm directed transcranially or remotely improved motor symptoms like gait and balance, non-motor symptoms such as cognition and smell, and provided neuroprotection by reducing neuronal death and inflammation in Parkinson's animal models and human trials.

• 850 nm LED (and Similar NIR) Enhances Mood in Depression
  
  A review of clinical trials showed transcranial photobiomodulation using NIR LED devices (including around 850 nm) significantly reduced depression scores, with high response and remission rates, by boosting mitochondrial function, cerebral blood flow, and neurogenesis in patients with major depressive disorder.

• 850 nm LED Therapy for Traumatic Brain Injury Recovery
  
  This ongoing trial uses a wearable LED device emitting 850 nm light in 20-minute daily sessions over 8 weeks to potentially improve cognitive function, reduce depression and anxiety, and enhance neural recovery in patients with chronic TBI through increased brain metabolism and blood flow.

• 850 nm LED Helmet Reduces Motor Symptoms in Parkinson's Disease
  
  In a randomized trial, patients with Parkinson's used a novel transcranial LED helmet (likely including 850 nm) as adjunctive therapy, showing improved motor function, balance, and quality of life, with good safety and feasibility for home use.

• 850 nm LED Enhances Speech Recovery in Aphasia After Brain Injury
  
  Combining 850 nm LED therapy with speech-language sessions markedly sped up improvements in speaking rate and sentence complexity for a patient with aphasia from traumatic brain injury.

• 850 nm LED Improves Fine Motor Skills in Parkinson's Para-Athletes
  
  Using an LED helmet with 850 nm light three times a week enhanced manual dexterity and coordination, helping para-athletes with Parkinson's perform better in tasks like throwing.

• 850 nm LED Reduces Brain Fog from COVID-19
  
  Whole-body LED treatment including 850 nm over 4 weeks significantly boosted cognitive scores and brain wave patterns in people suffering from long-COVID brain fog.

• 850 nm LED Helmets for Parkinson's Disease
  
  Early use of red and infrared LED helmets including 850 nm showed promising signs in easing symptoms like movement problems in Parkinson's patients.
