Exercise and light therapy show promise for brain injury symptoms

This study looked at whether a 3-month home exercise program or bright light therapy could improve movement, balance, mood, and thinking in adults with traumatic brain injury. 34 people with TBI and healthy volunteers took part. Participants did either exercise on an elliptical machine or sat in front of a light box for 30 minutes, 5 days a week. The goal was to see if these simple treatments could help ease common symptoms after a brain injury.
