Bright light therapy and the circadian rhythms : the effects of bright light therapy on the circadian rhythms in healthy young adults
… long term physical and mental health. Bright light therapy (BLT) has been used increasingly to re-adjust a CR, as light is highly important for regulating the CR light is a logical treatment for disorders caused by a disruption in the CR. This study aims to examine if BLT could positively …

Bright Light Therapy for the Treatment of Night Eating Syndrome
… to examine the effect of an open label bright light therapy (BLT) intervention on night eating behaviors as well as secondary outcomes of mood and sleep quality. It was hypothesized that night eating symptoms, depression, and sleep would significantly improve over the course of treatment. …

Preclinical Evaluation Of Infrared Light Therapy In A Rat Model Of Neonatal Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy
… use in the preclinical evaluation of infrared light therapy (IRL). Consistent with results from previous IRL efficacy studies using a rat model of adult global brain ischemia, IRL treatment attenuated cerebral injury resulting from hypoxia-ischemia in the neonatal rat. Thus, and perhaps most …

An investigation into morning light therapy, circadian rhythms and sleep-wake cycles in postoperative cardiac patients
… to determine the effects of the clinical lighting environment on the lengths of hospital stay of postoperative cardiac patients, and to establish whether morning light therapy improves the postoperative disruption of sleep and circadian rhythms in the patients. First, the validity of the …

The effect of low level light therapy on wound healing: in vitro study with normal and keloid fibroblast
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Low level light therapy (LLLT) is the treatment modality which is using photobiomodulatory effect of visible to near infrared spectrum light. LLLT is used in clinically to preventing hypertrophic scar or keloid and stimulating wound healing, while the mechanism of their …

The Multifaceted Implications of Light for Psychological Well-Being and Mood
Light not only allows us to see but is also fundamental to our health and well-being. Several parameters of light exposure, such as wavelengths, intensity, and timing of exposure, all play an important role on its effects on psychophysiological functions. The way in which studies have previously …

Mitigating the Effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder Through Architecture
… year and the drastically different amounts of sunlight available. Winters are very introverted as a result of the extreme cold and twenty-four hours of darkness, while summers and the midnight sun are celebrated and very social. Because of this contrast, winters are often accompanied by Seasonal …

Photobiomodulation of hippocampal neurogenesis for inducing resilience against Alzheimer’s disease
… (PBM), also known as low-level light therapy, has previously been shown to improve cognitive function and reduce neuropathology in animal models of AD, and has been shown to improve neurogenesis in models of stroke and traumatic brain injury. In our studies we use transcranial …

Preclinical translation of therapeutic interventions for tendon injury
… safety and efficacy of a clinically available therapy, and (4) biomarkers of tendon injury. ☐ The first aim of this research was to develop and validate a rat model of localized and partial-thickness attachment injury. The first part of this aim established the multiscale biomechanical …

The Effect of Acute Bright Light Exposure on Social Affiliation
In recent decades, bright light has emerged as a useful tool in numerous clinical and non-clinical applications, with the potential to influence circadian rhythms, sleep, mood, and several other functional domains. However, despite the existence of plausible neurological pathways through which …

Photodynamic Therapy utilizing Interstitial Light Delivery Combined with Spectroscopic Methods
… development of modalities for both diagnosis and therapy. Most of the currently available methods suffer from serious disadvantages. The treatments, e.g. ionising radiation, chemotherapy, surgery, may themselves induce malignancies or the patient may be physically impaired for a longer period of …

Photobiomodulation with IR1072nm in the murine CNS: in vitro and in vivo studies
Photobiomodulation refers to low-intensity light therapy (LILT) in the far-red to near-infrared (IR) region of the spectrum (630-1000nm). A peak wavelength, 1072nm (IR1072), in the IR transmission spectrum has been previously shown to have protective effects against UVA toxicity in human …
