[Transcranial photobiomodulation in therapy of neurodegenerative diseases of the brain: theoretical background and clinical effectiveness].

Transcranial photobiomodulation (tPBM) is a form of light therapy that uses monochromatic visible and infrared light from non-ionizing radiation sources (lasers, LEDs) placed on the scalp, forehead, or intranasally to project light directly to target areas of the brain. Accumulated experimental and clinical data indicate the safety and potential efficacy of tPBM in some central nervous system diseases.This article briefly reviews the general concepts of tPBM, the results of experimental and clinical studies on the efficacy of tPBM in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and brain stroke.
