The Brain Recovery Coach explains How The Use Of Syntonic Therapy May Help Patients With TBI By Effecting Change In the Autonomic Nervous System

Robert S. Fox, OD, FCOVD, writes, “Specialized therapy with blue light can...stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system when it is has been disrupted by a traumatic brain injury. After a traumatic brain injury (TBI), the sympathetic nervous system goes into overdrive, and the patient is stuck in fight-or-flight mode. Their sleep is disrupted, and they may experience any number of visual symptoms, including poor focusing, poor convergence, exotropia and problems with binocularity.” He added, “To help treat these and other visual conditions, I use syntonics – or optometric phototherapy – to apply different frequencies of light to effect changes in the autonomic nervous system.” According to Fox, “In-office syntonics instruments, in which the patient looks through a long tube that blocks out ambient and peripheral light, are the most effective, in my experience. These typically offer a wide variety of high-quality color filters and a controlled light source.”

Each year, traumatic brain injuries (TBI) contribute to a substantial number of deaths and cases of permanent disability. A TBI is caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head or a penetrating head injury that disrupts the normal function of the brain. The severity of a TBI may range from “mild” to “severe.” Even an injury labeled "mild" will not feel mild to the person affected by it.

TBI in the United States:
An estimated 2.8 million people sustain a TBI annually.
Of them:
50,000 die,
282,000 are hospitalized, and
2.5 million, nearly 90%, are treated and released from an emergency department.
TBI is a contributing factor to a third (30%) of all injury-related deaths in the United States.
Every day, 153 people in the United States die from injuries that include TBI.
