Trans cranial photobiomodulation.

Has anyone tried this? I've just learned about this a a promising treatment for neurodegenerative Disease. There are studies showing efficacy with Alzheimer's.

Here's an example of a device with some clinical studies behind it:

PS I don't work for them and have no affiliation, don't currently own a device but my mom has been diagnosed with PSP and looking into treatments.

Hi Homer

Don't know that I would touch it.

Trials seem minimal and mostly on animals and Canadian trials look like in very early stages. However I have no knowledge of lasers or treatments.

I do remember in my childhood days hearing about wonderful brain surgery - lobotomy, to help depression. It ruined a neighbour's brain and brain surgeons have come light years ahead since!

Then there were x-ray machines to make sure your new shoes fitted. They have disappeared since the dangers of x-rays have been thoroughly researched.

We can all understand the desire to clutch at straws when dealing with family affected with PSP, CBD, etc and Alzheimer's and dementia, when we see the person we know suffering.

Can't help thinking that some of the drug trials on patients may offer more immediate results!

I wish you and your mother well.

Hugs

Thanks Jen

Which particular drug trials do you find promising?

Thanks

There have been comments here on the AbVie trial which looks promising. Sadly, the person undergoing this trial has died suddenly quite recently. Am interested in any trial on patients, but purely from a personal interest as my hubby died from CBD 2 years ago.

Jen, I hear you - still, a few connected things stand out for me:

My hubby (CBD) avoided sun like the plague:

When his blood was tested at first medical investigation, he was "significantly" Vitamin D deficient (goes with the above, and our cloudy "northern" location) no other abnormalities

Vitamin D is proven? or just strongly clinically believed to have a significant role in brain health

The study Bill has linked has to do with "light"......

It's just interesting to me. I hope they go further with the research!

Cheers xx

Hi!

I do not have any news about this technique.

Anyway, by private internal mail I sent our experiences with PSP in case it would be useful in your case.

Greetings.
