Well fuck, we really need someone to write and distribute a protocol on this. All this previous research; OR ARE WE WAITING FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM?

Abstract
Objective:
To examine effects of four different transcranial, red/near-infrared
(NIR), light-emitting diode (tLED) protocols on naming ability in
persons with aphasia (PWA) due to left hemisphere (LH) stroke. This is
the first study to report beneficial effects from tLED therapy in chronic stroke, and parallel changes on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
Materials and methods: Six PWA, 2–18 years poststroke, in whom 18 tLED treatments were applied (3 × /week, 6 weeks) using LED cluster heads: 500 mW, red (633 nm) and NIR (870 nm), 22.48 cm2, 22.2 mW/cm2.
Results: After Protocol A with bilateral LED placements, including midline, at scalp vertex over left and right supplementary motor areas (L and R SMAs), picture naming was not improved. P1 underwent pre-/postovert, picture-naming task-fMRI scans; P2 could not. After Protocol A, P1 showed increased activation in LH and right hemisphere, including L and R SMAs. After Protocol B with LEDs only on ipsilesional, LH side, naming ability significantly improved for P1 and P2; the fMRI scans for P1 then showed activation only on the ipsilesional LH side. After Protocol C with LED placements on ipsilesional LH side, plus one midline placement over mesial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) at front hairline, a cortical node of the default mode network (DMN), P3 and P4 had only moderate/poor response, and no increase in functional connectivity on resting-state functional-connectivity MRI. After Protocol D, however, with LED placements on ipsilesional LH side, plus over two midline nodes of DMN, mPFC, and precuneus (high parietal) simultaneously, P5 and P6 each had good response with significant increase in functional connectivity within DMN, p < 0.0005; salience network, p < 0.0005; and central executive network, p < 0.05.
Conclusions: NIR photons can affect surface brain cortex areas subjacent to where LEDs are applied on the scalp. Improved naming ability was present with optimal Protocol D. Transcranial photobiomodulation may be an additional noninvasive therapy for stroke.
