Treatment Efficacy of Photobiomodulation for Moderate and Advanced Dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease: Case Studies

Abstract

Extensive research is ongoing in the use of photobiomodulation (PBM, often referred to as low level laser therapy) to treat Alzheimer's disease or dementia. The following case studies further confirm that PBM could be a breakthrough approach to limit the progression of this insidious disease. We present four cases, two with mild to moderate dementia and two with more advanced symptoms. Several publications have shown beneficial results, however, several weeks of daily treatments were necessary. The cases described here suggest that moderate or advanced dementia cases can be significantly improved with three or four eight-minute treatments over a 5- 7-day period (MWF).
