intranasal red light therapy (iN-PBMT)

[28028pdralph]

Hi

Has anyone has any experience with intranasal red light therapy (iN-PBMT) for pd?

Thanks

I had a Vielight that was made for that purpose. Did not help me.

That's disappointing to hear, PB. We have the Coronet helmet and have wondered if the Coronase device is worth getting. One thing it seems like it could help with is glymphatic clearance, since it would illuminate the cribriform plate. From Google AI;

"The cribriform plate plays a crucial role in the glymphatic system by serving as a primary drainage pathway for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), allowing waste products to be cleared from the brain through the olfactory nerves and into the nasal lymphatic system, effectively facilitating the brain's waste removal process."

I don't know how one would determine if glymphatic function's being improved though. Might just have to use it with fingers crossed.

I have ordered the below, I’m not sure it will help but no harm trying.

Just in time to play Rudolph for Xmas! 😆

Certainly no harm trying, hope you get great results.

It might be worth trying, but their claim it immediately reieves cols syptoms puts me off - because even the very much more expensive and better intranasal devices don't do that. For something low cost I'd probably go for something like the Bionase.

how much does this intranasal cost extra i have already a coronet

[beedrum in reply to Josiedub]

Pretty sure the price is on their website. Be sure to check it's compatible with your Coronet as it only fits later models. It doesn't fit my Coronet I bought about 3 years ago.

I’ve been using the coronet. I don’t think it has helped me much.

[beedrum in reply to Weng888]

How long did you use it for? Symbyx saysup to 12 weeks to see improvement with their helmet.

[Weng888 in reply to beedrum]

I started in June and have been diligently using it until September. After that, I still use it but only occassionally.

[beedrum in reply to Weng888]

You will nees to use it consistently for any chnce of benefit. Also, be aware that it's not uncommon for the user to not really feel much or any benefit, but friends and family can easily see changes in them.

I have the coronet and the nasal attachment. Although I can't say I see noticeable changes, I like my nighttime routine wearing them and will continue with hopes it is actually making a difference

[28028pdralph in reply to Missy0202]

🤞

[beedrum in reply to Missy0202]

It can take up to 12 weeks. Also, it's fairly common that others see changes in you that you may not be aware of.

[beedrum in reply to Missy0202]

It's quite possible there may be improvements that can be measured that you don't really feel. Keep it up, it certainly won't do any harm, any you may be missing out if you stop.

[Balahanda]

never heard of it

I've tried it, no noticeable benefit.

I am in week 8 of treatment with 3 days Vielight Neuro Gamma 4 with the intranasal light plus 3 days SunPowerLED at my doctor’s office. Studies suggest success in reduction of symptoms by 12 weeks with the Vielight. My doctor has suggested the program I am using. My use, 6 days a week using both systems, 20 minute sessions each with Vielight, 6 minutes each at the office. I have approximately 25% reduction in tremors and ridgitity, and a noticeable increase in sense of smell and taste. I’m falling asleep faster and sleeping better through the night. I am not participating in a study so these measurements are rather casual. I will continue the program at the end of 12 weeks if I continue to see progress. One bump in the road was at week 6 when the doctor increased each session by doubling the time resulting in an interfering sense of agitation so we went back to the starting program. The studies at Vielight.com and on YouTube are encouraging.
