Biophoton Therapy for Stroke
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests whether Biophoton Generators, a type of therapy device, can help individuals with chronic stroke regain independence. The study involves daily use of these devices to potentially boost energy in the brain and body. Participants will reside in a special center, with some receiving active generators and others placebo devices for comparison. Ideal candidates experienced a stroke over six months ago and currently struggle with independent living. Participants must be able to reside in a hotel and have a caregiver to assist them during the study. As an unphased trial, this study offers a unique opportunity to explore innovative therapy that could enhance quality of life.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.
What prior data suggests that Biophoton Generators are safe for stroke patients?
Research shows that biophoton generators are generally safe for use. One study found that patients using these devices experienced no harmful side effects, meaning no negative reactions occurred. Although the FDA has not yet approved these devices, the study's findings indicate they are well-tolerated. Participants in the trial should not expect any major safety issues with the treatment.12345
Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about biophoton therapy for stroke because it offers a novel, non-invasive approach to treatment. Unlike traditional stroke therapies, which often involve medications like clot-busters or physical rehabilitation, biophoton therapy uses light-emitting devices placed under a patient's bed to potentially aid recovery. This method leverages the body's natural response to light, aiming to stimulate cellular activity and improve brain function. Its unique delivery method and potential to enhance recovery without drugs make it an intriguing option for stroke care.
What evidence suggests that Biophoton Generators are effective for stroke recovery?
Research has shown that biophoton therapy might help people with chronic stroke regain some independence. In this trial, participants in the treatment group will receive active Biophoton Generators. Studies have found that these devices can boost brain function and lower stress levels in just six days. Another study reported significant improvements in patients' recovery and quality of life after a stroke. Biophoton generators work by emitting tiny, organized light particles that may help repair cells and improve blood flow. These early findings suggest that biophoton therapy could be a promising option for stroke recovery.16789
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for adults who had a stroke at least 6 months ago and now need help to live independently. They must have a caregiver, be able to give consent (with assistance if needed), speak English or have translation, not use ventilators, and not have severe illnesses that could affect the study.Inclusion Criteria
