Thanks to researchers at Harvard, narrow band green light technology offers a ray of hope.

Of the variety of treatment options available for migraine patients, most are ineffective, expensive, invasive or all of the above. Harvard neuroscientist Dr. Rami Burstein, a world leader in the science of migraine and headache pain, found that a narrow band of green light can actually reduce headache symptoms in migraine patients. This unique light produces smaller electrical signals in the brain than ordinary light, generating a calmer response and more positive emotions. Research from the University of Arizona Health Sciences has further validated Dr. Burstein’s work.

Participants in the study spent 1-2 hours a day for ten weeks in a room lit only by a white light, then spent ten weeks doing the same using a narrow wavelength green light. During the weeks of green light exposure, patients reported significantly reduced pain levels and headache duration and great improvements in their ability to sleep, work and exercise. Fortunately for headache patients, devices using this green light technology are already available on the commercial market, including a relatively inexpensive green light lamp developed and sold by a company called <a href="https://u7061146.ct.sendgrid.net/ls/click?upn=4tNED-2FM8iDZJQyQ53jATUYOZ60vvaPetBnVTVGjw6cg-3D0gSX_ij7BAvLAaQUSLb-2FPLJuyu7QtDH2U33d6TaFzgKSKQFBysUiJjOaaN2tWwLRuhz6nyvCQmnM82q3cyeUpSKOPL6wkPaAgT5MeGdl59TYkA3q1tIxxSDVuXYzkMs7mAoLGta-2BWT-2FsOvXkf4ZKERc8M0vOHfTy30I-2FVV6lj1FbOlx2A3Uxlv6bS-2B4FTRLKcvbxcQ-2FnlrG93bojpdpVn06QCfnGgbR1F2cihQiWZoYYweyiqucJwtamtwpQAnBnIC6J3PK6Ks5cx88gJ6al2Hn-2Brb5hoCqWiEcUuaHnTkSnF3Uk-2F25Wxc2piNH1BHwsbncFfJYJP4mrFYUK9xesoht0SRWXFyENLDVA7T3IqbTRt-2BGo-3D">Allay</a>.
