Acute Traumatic Brain Injury and Post Stroke (acute)
Keywords Acute Concussion, acute TBI, acute traumatic brain injury, post stroke rehabilitation
Treatment Plan
Daily for 5 days, then twice weekly for 3 weeks, then weekly for 2 months, Space out treatment as patient responds if further treatment is still needed. if not starting to respond after 6 sessions, treat three times a week
Intention
Stimulate blood flow to CNS
Stimulate central nervous system
glymphatics to reduce inflammation, assist
drainage
Heal injuries and reduce inflammation
Probe
LED Cluster LED Cluster LED Cluster
Pulse 2.5Hz 2.5Hz 2.5Hz
Tx Time 1 Min 1 Min 1 Min
Tx Targets
Bilateral internal carotid arteries and vertebral arteries
Sigmoid sinus and Jugular foramen bilaterallyExternal occipital protuberance / confluence of sinuses and transverse sinuses bilaterally.Along saggital suture
Treat affected lobe (s)
The colours represent which probe to use and where to place it
NEVER USE LASER on or near the eye (you can use LED THROUGH CLOSED EYES)
