Methods

Summary

In the study, we propose to utilize multi-Watt (10-13 Watt) NILT to treat TBI in a double-blind controlled study. Patients with mild-to-moderate TBI will be recruited, screened and enrolled with informed consent. Patients will complete a comprehensive neuropsychological battery and functional neuroimaging. Study participants will undergo targeted NILT, while controls will undergo sham laser treatment. One month after treatment, all subjects will be reassessed with neuropsychological testing and functional neuroimaging to determine the efficacy of treatment. Funding for the neuroimaging is still being sought, but the project will begin as soon as funding is available. Funding for the actual treatments is not being sought.
