Abstract

This chapter explores the potential of photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy for traumatic brain injury (TBI), providing an overview of the condition, discussing relevant animal models, and examining the therapeutic approach in both animal studies and human clinical trials. Section 1 introduces traumatic brain injury, a significant cause of death and disability worldwide. The chapter discusses acute and chronic TBI (1.1) and various animal models of TBI (1.2) that play a crucial role in advancing our understanding of the disorder’s underlying mechanisms and testing potential therapeutic interventions, such as PBM. Section 2 focuses on PBM therapy for TBI, with subsections discussing its application in animal models (2.1) and human studies (2.2). This section offers a comprehensive overview of the current state of research, emphasizing the potential benefits of PBM therapy in promoting neuroprotection for traumatic brain injury.
