Timeline
Interventions
The In Light Wellness Systems Near-Infrared Phototherapy Device (manufactured by In Light Wellness Systems, Inc.) contains alternating rows of 402 red (640 nm) and infrared (880 nm) light-emitting diodes embedded in 2 neoprene pads. One pad circles the skull, providing 720 Joules/min, and the other pad covers the top of the head, providing 360 joules/min. For each treatment session, the "A" setting on the 3-port controller is utilized, which runs approximately 6.7 min of 73 Hz, 587 Hz, and 1175 Hz in an automated sequential manner. No other interventions were utilized.
