Photobiomodulation for
PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder PTSD is a mental health condition that can occur after a person has experienced or witnessed a traumatic event, such as a serious accident, war, natural disaster, assault, or other life-threatening events.
PTSD can have a significant impact on a person's mental well-being and daily life functioning.
People with PTSD may experience symptoms such as intrusive memories or flashbacks of the traumatic event, avoidance of reminders of the event, negative changes in mood or thoughts, and increased arousal or reactivity, including difficulty sleeping or concentrating.
Traditional treatments for PTSD include medication and psychotherapy, but PBM offers a non-invasive alternative.
Although the use of PBM for PTSD is a new area of research, these results suggest that PBM may be an effective treatment option for individuals with PTSD who have not responded to traditional therapies:
