Gains seen in Parkinson’s with Symbyx’s red light therapy helmet

Wow the results from the study in this article are pretty impressive.

From the article:

Among medium and strong responders, there was a 40% significant improvement in upper limb function, including finger and hand movements, with the Symbyx Neuro helmet, compared with nonsignificant improvements in the sham group.

Walking improved by 28% and facial expressions such as eye blinks and smiling by 27%, while tremors were reduced by 24%. No significant changes were observed for these measures in the sham group. Lower limb function, such as foot and leg movements and the ability to stand from a seated position, improved by 58% in both groups.

I’m really tempted to try this. Non invasive, and no real drawbacks except the cost of the helmet, as far as I can tell.

@chris has been using this helmet. Chris, can you talk about how it has been working for you?

Thanks!
Mike

Granted it’s not an immediate kind of thing I think they initially suggested 8 to 10 weeks before you would notice any anything but basically I mean it sends 20 minutes a day roughly I usually do it in the morning and the end they do say you need to be consistent with your times during the day but I have noticed that yes it does help with some of the brain fog and clarity so we’ll see I’ll keep using it and see see how it goes
