Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a prevalent condition associated with high rates of disability, as well as suicidal ideation and behavior. Current treatments for MDD have significant limitations in efficacy and side effect burden. FDA-approved devices for MDD are burdensome (due to repeated in-office procedures) and are most suitable for severely ill subjects. There is a critical need for device-based treatments in MDD that are efficacious, well-tolerated, and easy to use. In this paper, we review a novel neuromodulation strategy, transcranial photobiomodulation (t-PBM) with near-infrared light (NIR). The scope of our review includes the known biological mechanisms of t-PBM, as well as its efficacy in animal models of depression and in patients with MDD. Theoretically, t-PBM penetrates into the cerebral cortex, stimulating the mitochondrial respiratory chain, and also significantly increases cerebral blood flow. Animal and human studies, using a variety of t-PBM settings and experimental models, suggest that t-PBM may have significant efficacy and good tolerability in MDD. In aggregate, these data support the need for large confirmatory studies for t-PBM as a novel, likely safe, and easy-to-administer antidepressant treatment.

It is done. But not without tears I must confess. My last day of clinical practice and adequate words cannot be found, at least today , for the amazing experience over 41 years that my physio career has afforded me. It has been an honour particularly over the last 24 years as a specialist lymphoedema therapist , educator , researcher and clinic owner to assist with the rehab and restoration of peoples physical and mental states following a cancer diagnosis. I have been constantly reminded of the strength, fragility and resilience of the human spirit and the power of compassionate words and kindness . May I never forget those lessons in retirement as I write my next lifes chapter . Lymphoedema and Laser Therapy - thanks for the crazy , wild ride.

Why are my pain killers not working anymore?

If you've ever found yourself struggling to find relief from chronic pain, you'll know how debilitating it is. There are several reasons why painkillers aren't working anymore. Maybe you aren't taking the right kind for your specific type of pain, or maybe you've developed a tolerance.
