Quick takeaways
- Laser therapy shows promise in decelerating neurodegenerative diseases by improving mitochondrial function, reducing chronic inflammation, and preventing apoptosis in brain cells.
- Transcranial application of infrared light in laser therapy stimulates cellular activity, promotes intercellular communication, reduces inflammation, prevents apoptosis, and potentially reduces amyloid plaques in neurodegenerative diseases.

Benefits of Laser Therapy for Neurodegenerative Disorders
Laser therapy, or photobiomodulation, shows promise in combating neurodegenerative disorders by decelerating disease progression. It works by increasing mitochondrial function, reducing chronic inflammation, and preventing apoptosis in brain cells. Light therapy activates signaling pathways within cells, allowing them to communicate and function properly. Moreover, it has the potential to reduce amyloid plaques and protect against oxidative stress. While still experimental, laser therapy offers hope in reversing the effects of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
