Traumatic injuries of the brain react to transcranial, low-energy laser irradiation with infrared light.
A new, forward-looking LLLT research focus is the success of transcranial LLLT in the treatment of craniocerebral trauma. In this video, the photomedical researcher Prof. Michael Hamblin gives an introduction to the state of research and to the photochemical processes induced by LLLT, which are involved in the promising therapy results.
Michael Hamblin, PHD, is the head of research at the Wellmann Center for Photomedicine at Massachusetts General Hospital and Professor of Dermatology at Harvard Medical School. His main interest is the therapeutic potential of photomedicine for a wide variety of diseases. One of his main areas of research is the application of LLLT in craniocerebral trauma.
