Research: Transcranial Photobiomodulation on Football Players w/ Potential Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)

On this week's episode of The Red Light Report, I will peel back the curtain on BioLight's newest piece of innovative red light therapy technology: the Adapt System. Many of you likely heard about it when it was officially released a couple of months ago, but I wanted to give an explanation of what makes the Adapt System, which consists of the Adapt Table and the Adapt Panel, so unique, versatile and a must-have for any physician/practitioner, longevity clinic, med spa, recovery/performance center, yoga studio/cross fit gym, etc. that is looking to implement red light therapy for their patients and clients.

After that, we will spend the bulk of the episode on one piece of photobiomodulation research that looks at transcranial RLT for treating the brains of four ex-football players with possible chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. And CTE has become a very hot topic in the NFL, especially ever since the movie, Concussion (starring Will Smith), was released back in 2015. However, the concern regarding CTE in football, other sports and other aspects of life has only grown and remains ever-present to this day.

It is also appropriate to recognize that this particular study utilized only four participants, which is very low in the world of research. However, even with that in mind, the results ascertained in this study simply by directing near-infrared light to the brain is unequivocally profound... and the results were achieved in only six weeks!

Hopefully you find this episode fascinating and insightful. As always, light up your health (especially your brain)!
