Systems and methods of light therapy for sexual dysfunction

A method of controlling a device configured for treating sexual dysfunction of a subject, the method comprising:

• providing power to a device having a light source to cause the light source to emit near-infrared light to a region of interest of the subject;
• and
• delivering the near-infrared light to a region of interest of the subject via transcranial photobiomodulation, the near-infrared light being in a dosimetry and duration sufficient to treat the sexual dysfunction, and
• wherein the sexual dysfunction includes at least one of impaired libido, impaired sexual arousal, delayed orgasm, or absent orgasm, and
• wherein the near-infrared light is delivered at a wavelength of 830 nm at an average irradiance up to 36.2 mW/cm2 and a fluence over 30 min up to 65.2 J/cm2, with a treatment window of 28.7 cm2.

A device configured for treating sexual dysfunction of a subject, the device comprising:

• a power source;
• a light source configured to receive power from the power source to cause the light source to emit near-infrared light, wherein the near-infrared light has a wavelength of about 830 nm;
• a processor;
• and
• a housing configured to position the light source to deliver the near-infrared light to a region of interest of the subject via transcranial photobiomodulation, the near-infrared light being in a dosimetry and duration sufficient to treat the sexual dysfunction,
• wherein the sexual dysfunction of the subject includes at least one of impaired libido, impaired sexual arousal, delayed orgasm, or absent orgasm, and
• wherein the near-infrared light is delivered at a wavelength of 830 nm at an average irradiance up to 36.2 mW/cm2 and a fluence over 30 min up to 65.2 J/cm2, with a treatment window of 28.7 cm2.
