Infrared therapy: casting dementia treatment in a new light
Infrared light therapy could alleviate symptoms in dementia patients, according to a pilot study.
Researchers have found that transcranial photobiomodulation therapy (PBM-T) – where the individual wears a helmet that delivers infrared light to the brain –improved memory, motor function and processing skills in individuals with normal intellectual function. They suggest that PBM-T may also have a positive effect on individuals with dementia.
