Photobiomodulation Shows Promise in Treating Depression by Targeting Brain-Gut Axis

Recent studies demonstrate the effectiveness of low-intensity light therapy in improving cognitive functions and reducing symptoms of chronic stress.

Photobiomodulation, a non-invasive technique using low-intensity light, has been found effective in treating cognitive impairments by simultaneously stimulating the brain and gut.
The therapy is noted for its safety, minimal side effects, and potential in treating treatment-resistant depression.
Research highlights the significant role of the gut-brain axis in mental health, offering new avenues for neurological disorder treatments.
Clinical applications include devices adapted from Alzheimer’s studies, combining various light sources for safe human use.
Future research aims to conduct clinical trials to further evaluate the efficacy of this therapy in depression patients.
