Abstract
The present specification discloses a photobiomodulation therapy garment having a garment structure configured to be worn by a user atop a skin surface with one or more near-infrared light sources integrated with the garment structure. The near-infrared light source is configured to emit near-infrared light directed to one or more regions of interest of the skin at a wavelength between 600 nm to 1600 nm and at a predetermined dosimetry and duration. A controller with a processor and memory is in communication with the near-infrared light source to control the operational parameters of the near-infrared light source.
Claims20
A photobiomodulation therapy headband comprising:
- a headband configured to be donned by a user atop a skin surface, the headband comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the first surface being configured to face the skin surface once the headband is donned, and
- a photobiomodulation unit integrated within the headband, the photobiomodulation unit comprising a connection terminal, one or more near-infrared light sources, and one or more sensors, the connection terminal in electronic communication with the one or more near-infrared light sources and one or more sensors, wherein the one or more near-infrared light sources are each configured to emit near-infrared light at a wavelength between 800 nm to 1100 nm and at a predetermined dosimetry and wherein the one or more near-infrared light sources are configured to generate an irradiance or flux density of at least 25 mW/cm2 to at most 400 mW/cm2,
- a controller, the controller including a processor and a memory, the controller configured to operationally engage a terminal rail of the connection terminal in a manner that establishes electronic communication between the controller and the connection terminal;
- wherein the first surface of the headband includes a first portion comprising one or more light openings, with each of the one or more near-infrared light sources being in operational alignment with the one or more light openings to permit proper passage of near-infrared light from the one or more near-infrared light sources therethrough,
- wherein the first surface of the headband includes a second portion comprising one or more sensor openings with each of the one or more sensors being in operational alignment with the one or more sensor openings to permit proper functionality of the one or more sensors therethrough, and
- wherein the processor and the memory are configured with executable instructions for independently controlling each of the one or more near-infrared light sources and each of the one or more sensors.
