TBI, CTE, & PTSD Causes
Summary: This clinical trial studies the beneficial effects of TLT on TBI & CTE. It is thought to be a breakthrough treatment, up to tentimes faster, better and cheaper than other TBI treatments. Rather than focusing on diagnosing CTE, we are fast-forwarding and focusing on treating and curing the overlapping symptoms and underlying causes of CTE & TBI.
What is TLT? Transcranial Laser Therapy is a strong infrared laser applied directly through the skull into the brain.
Research Study: TLT, A Breakthrough Treatment for TBI & CTE
PTSD
TBI
CTE
Causes of TBI, CTE, PTSD: These three diseases overlap. They are loosely called neuro-psychiatric or neuro-cognitive disorders.
TBI, Traumatic Brain Injury, results from head trauma. Mild TBI is most common, with loss of consciousness 1-20 minutes. Each year, 2 million TBIs occur in the US, resulting in 275,000 hospitalizations and 52,000 deaths.
CTE, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, results from multiple head trauma, with or without loss of consciousness. CTE is thought to be due to the build-up of an abnormal protein called tau in the brain. CTE is a disease of athletes with repetitive head trauma.
PTSD, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, results from physical or mental trauma. PTSD affects about 8 million Americans annually. Among civilians, more women than men are affected. Combat Veterans have the highest incidence, as high as 30-40%. Wounded Warriors frequently have both TBI and PTSD.

Symptom overlap: TBI, CT, & PTSD share most of their symptoms. Many of these symptoms can be traced to dysfunction of the brain’s frontal cortex.

Advantages of TLT: Transcranial Laser Therapy uses an FDA-approved high-power laser for a new indication. It is non-invasive, painless, and can bring a rapid and permanent cure to some of the root causes of TBI, CTE, and PTSD.
Study Summary: This study uses a 2.5X higher dose of TLT than has previously been used. 40 patients with symptoms of CTE, TBI, and/or PTSD will be studied. The study population is former NFL players and Vets.
Who Benefits: Kids - Athletes - Vets
