“Proof-of-concept of a novel non- invasive treatment for mild traumatic brain injury using novel signal analysis and machine learning methods.”
Abstract
Photobiomodulation (PBM), formerly known as low-level laser (light) therapy (LLLT), has been a part of Grey Team’s wellness protocol since our inception.
This study is being conducted to help us understand how Photobiomodulation (PBM), formerly known as low-level laser (light) therapy (LLLT) treatment delivered through a helmet with LED lights in it, affects memory, flexible thinking, and self-control; your body’s process of fighting against things that harm it; and quality of life in Veterans with mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI).

- We expect up to 30 participants in this study.
