Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy, also known as low-level light therapy (LLLT), is emerging as a promising approach for treating symptoms associated with Long COVID. PBM uses specific wavelengths of light, often in the red or near-infrared spectrum, to stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation. This non-invasive therapy has shown potential in alleviating chronic fatigue, brain fog, and persistent pain, which are common in Long COVID sufferers. By enhancing mitochondrial function and improving blood flow, PBM may help restore energy levels and cognitive function.
