Transcranial Low-Level Laser Therapy Improves Neurological Performance in Traumatic Brain Injury in Mice: Effect of Treatment Repetition Regimen
Low-level laser (light) therapy (LLLT) has been clinically applied around the world for a spectrum of disorders requiring healing, regeneration and prevention of tissue death. One area that is attracting growing interest in this scope is the use of transcranial LLLT to treat stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI). We developed a mouse model of severe TBI induced by controlled cortical impact a...
متن کاملTranscranial low-level laser therapy enhances learning, memory, and neuroprogenitor cells after traumatic brain injury in mice.
The use of transcranial low-level laser (light) therapy (tLLLT) to treat stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI) is attracting increasing attention. We previously showed that LLLT using an 810-nm laser 4 h after controlled cortical impact (CCI)-TBI in mice could significantly improve the neurological severity score, decrease lesion volume, and reduce Fluoro-Jade staining for degenerating neuron...
متن کاملCell Therapy for Traumatic Brain Injury: Opportunities and Pitfalls
Today, stem cell transplantation is a hot topic in scientific circles as a novel therapeutic approach to repair the structure and function of central nervous system. The safe and neuroprotective effects of cell therapy in models and traumatic brain injury patients were evaluated in many experimental and clinical studies in recent decade and somewhat promising results were provided to the scient...
متن کاملPotential for transcranial laser or LED therapy to treat stroke, traumatic brain injury, and neurodegenerative disease.
Near-infrared (NIR) light passes readily through the scalp and skull and a small percentage of incident power density can arrive at the cortical surface in humans. The primary photoreceptors for red and NIR light are mitochondria, and cortical neurons are exceptionally rich in mitochondria. It is likely that brain cells are ideally set up to respond to light therapy. The basic biochemical pathw...
متن کاملLow-level laser therapy for traumatic brain injury in mice increases brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and synaptogenesis.
Transcranial low-level laser (light) therapy (LLLT) is a new non-invasive approach to treating a range of brain disorders including traumatic brain injury (TBI). We (and others) have shown that applying near-infrared light to the head of animals that have suffered TBI produces improvement in neurological functioning, lessens the size of the brain lesion, reduces neuroinflammation, and stimulate...
