Summary
This paper investigates the effectiveness of blue light therapy (BLT) in treating sleep disturbances in PTSD patients, and whether age and eye physiology, specifically cataracts, affect the therapy's effectiveness.
Categories
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): The paper focuses on the treatment of sleep disturbances in PTSD patients using blue light therapy, and discusses the prevalence and symptoms of PTSD.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses the impact of PTSD on sleep quality and the potential of blue light therapy to improve sleep disturbances in PTSD patients.
Aging: The paper examines the potential impact of aging, specifically the development of cataracts, on the effectiveness of blue light therapy in treating sleep disturbances in PTSD patients.
Phototherapy: The paper explores the use of blue light therapy as a non-pharmacological approach to treating sleep disturbances in PTSD patients.
