A review of preclinical and clinical PBM evidence related to autism, ADHD and Down syndrome.
What to keep in mind
This narrative review combines preclinical and clinical literature; it is not itself a pediatric trial. Laboratory findings and studies in other populations do not establish safety or benefit in children. Methods, devices and populations differ across the reviewed studies.
Research information is not a prescription. Long-term pediatric transcranial PBM safety is not established by these studies; adult evidence is not a substitute for pediatric evidence. Use only under qualified clinical guidance, with device-specific safety review.
