Abstract
Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) offers an effective, non-pharmacological approach for treating the nervous system. In vitro and in vivo preclinical studies indicate that PBMT promotes cellular regeneration, reduces neuronal oxidative stress and neuroinflammation, and modulates pain while increasing mitochondrial function, oxygen consumption, and blood flow in many traumatic injuries and diseases of the peripheral and central nervous systems. This chapter reviews the science supporting the use of PBMT for certain peripheral nerve conditions, neuropathic pain, spinal cord injury, and neurodegenerative disorders of the brain and spinal cord.
