Beneficial Cognitive Effects of Transcranial Infrared Laser Stimulation (TILS) in Bipolar Disorder

Highlights from the International Society for Bipolar Disorders Conference Posters and Presentations, Chicago, June 22-25, 2023

Michael Gentry of The University of Texas At Austin reported on 30 individuals with remitted bipolar disorder (type I or type II). TILS was administered weekly to each participant over six consecutive weeks (1064 nm wavelength; bilaterally to the frontal poles; 10 minutes per weekly session)….. after six weeks of TILS administration, participants demonstrated decreased impulsivity on the Stop Signal Task and improved abilities to select correct responses on the Multitasking Test.
