New research on light therapy shows promise for patients who have suffered repetitive head impacts and may have CTE based on their medical history

A leading researcher has presented two case studies with retired professional football players who had suffered repetitive head impacts and had possible CTE based on their medical history. The case studies showed that the LED and red light therapy had significant positive effects, confirmed with clinical tests, and fMRI brain scans.
