Abstract
Background
Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) enhances cognitive and emotional states. We compared continuous-wave (CW) and pulsed-wave (PW) tPBM effects on 24 healthy males.
Method
Participants received 630 nm tPBM at 95 mW/cm2 for 10 min: Sham, CW, or PW (500 Hz). Outcomes were assessed using the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS) (for measuring sleepiness), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) (for assessing anxiety), Visual Analog Scale (VAS) (for measuring stress), and Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) (for evaluating depressive symptoms), and 32-channel EEG at baseline, treatment, and rest phases.
Results
Paired t-tests showed PW tPBM significantly improved sleepiness, anxiety, stress, and depression scores post-intervention (p < 0.05). ANOVA analyses indicated PW tPBM increased Alpha and Gamma band EEG power versus baseline (p < 0.05).
Conclusion
PW tPBM may improve cognitive and emotional outcomes and modulate brain activity, offering therapeutic insights.
期刊介绍:
The first international journal dedicated to publishing reviews and original articles from this exciting field, the Journal of Biophotonics covers the broad range of research on interactions between light and biological material. The journal offers a platform where the physicist communicates with the biologist and where the clinical practitioner learns about the latest tools for the diagnosis of diseases. As such, the journal is highly interdisciplinary, publishing cutting edge research in the fields of life sciences, medicine, physics, chemistry, and engineering. The coverage extends from fundamental research to specific developments, while also including the latest applications.
