Summary
This paper discusses a study that tested the effectiveness of morning blue-light exposure treatment (BLT) in regulating sleep and affecting brain structure in individuals diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Categories
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): The paper focuses on a study of individuals diagnosed with PTSD, examining the effects of blue-light exposure treatment on sleep regulation and brain structure in these individuals.
Sleep and insomnia: The study investigates the impact of morning blue-light exposure treatment on sleep duration and quality in individuals with PTSD.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses changes in brain structure, specifically in the amygdala and medial prefrontal cortex, associated with the blue-light exposure treatment in individuals with PTSD.
Phototherapy: The study utilizes morning blue-light exposure treatment as a non-pharmacologic approach to facilitate sleep and neurobehavioral recovery in individuals with PTSD.
