The University of Florida ( Department of Applied Physiology and Kinesiology) has just published a study in the journal of athletic training, demonstrating the effectiveness of low level light therapy on athletic performance. The looked at 12 randomized controlled trials and the data showed that if this light procedure was applied immediately before exercise, then there were many benefits that were noticed. Among these benefits included, a reduction of fatigue which positively affected physical performance, and post-exercise recovery <view study> Read Less

Transcranial light therapy is becoming more popular for treating patients who have had a stroke or traumatic brain injury. This study was able to reproduce significant improvements and attributed this to light's ability to possibly aid in neurogenesis or the development for new brain cells <view study> Read Less

The growing popularity of stem cell s have run into a few challenges, with one major one being a rapid decline of these cells, following transplantation. This study looked at using light therapy as a way to effectively handle this decline. They combined stem cell application with light therapy on a wound bed and observed the stimulatory effects caused by the addition of the light. This supports previous studies that demonstrates the ability of light therapy to help enhance stem cell therapy and the medical implications for this can be enormous <view study> Read Less

The purpose of this study was to investigate light therapy's effect on chronic kidney disease and for the researches believe that they were able to document, for the first time, that light therapy had a protective effect regarding renal interstitial fibrosis <view study>   Read Less

16 military subjects received a 'typical dose' of low pressure hyperbaric oxygen therapy (40 sessions at 1.5 ATA for 60 min HBOT within 30 days) for mild to moderate traumatic brain injuries. After treatment, they demonstrated significant improvement in impulsivity, mood, anxiety, quality of life scores, and more. Their SPECT brain scans showed remarkable overall improvement in blood flow These results were confirmed with brain imaging scans which showed  remarkable improvements in blood flow to these regions of the brain, following the course of treatments. <view study> Read Less
