Green Light migraine therapy using 530nm LED’s

[wweiss]

Does anyone have info / data or has used green LED's to ease chronic pain or migraines? The research is fairly new but the results of a few small studies show a large effect.

It would be fantastic if it worked.
Personally, I can't stand any sort of light, green or otherwise, when I'm migraineous.

I would think that the same thing would happen if people were playing on a golf course looking at the bright green grass.
My opinion is this is just another cash grab.

This trial description of LED color for pain reduction may be interesting to read.

(I hope the moderators don't mind the link, my interest is only in exploring the use of a green LED flashlight as a tool for healing. Like the HDS Hunter Green recently listed)

Here is another study:

There could be some benefit to this.

Just bumping this thread. Friend has bad migraines and we are going to put together some lighting and see if it works.

Very cool theme if it really helps people. Did such an idea come about if, in addition to the green flashlight, green medical glasses are used, which are made for people with glaucoma?

I know an experiment where cows were put on VR glasses and broadcast a beautiful green field. Their anxiety decreased and their milk yields increased, the fat content of milk also improved. So it will definitely work for people.

Cows wearing VR glasses sounds like something out of a Far Side cartoon. The green glasses look intriguing though.

I saw the original report from a doctor who said his headaches we soothed by sitting out back in all the green foliage. So green might work, and he said it did. My reaction -- yeah, sure.

I do suffer from headaches and I set the room lighting to green. And the headache went away, would have lasted for hours.

Glad this thread came back. There just may be truth in this - even a little would be interesting…

More like some kind of series from South Park, but there is such a thing.
