ItPBM

Intranasal-Transcranial Brain Photobiomodulation (itPBM)

At OPTI Vet Solutions, we focus on technologies that target the root cause of neurological symptoms. ItPBM is a world leader in brain photobiomodulation, a non-invasive therapy that uses specific wavelengths of near-infrared light to stimulate cellular energy, improve blood flow, and reduce neuroinflammation.

For over a decade, ItPBM has partnered with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the DoD to study how light therapy can help Veterans recover from the "invisible wounds" of service, including TBI, PTSD, and cognitive fatigue.

Why itPBM is Different

Standard light therapy often struggles to penetrate the thick bone of the skull. ItPBM (Intranasal-Transcranial) approach solves this through a dual-delivery system:

Transcranial Headset

High-powered LEDs target the Default Mode Network (DMN) from the outside.

Intranasal Applicator

A small, comfortable clip delivers light through the nasal cavity, providing a direct pathway to the underside of the brain and the systemic circulatory system.

Personalized Neurological Support for Veterans

ITPBM therapy uses targeted pulse frequencies designed to support the brain and nervous system. Treatment protocols can be customized to address a wide range of neurological and cognitive challenges commonly experienced by veterans, helping promote recovery, resilience, and improved quality of life.

Evidence-Based & VA-Recognized

ItPBM isn't just a wellness device; it is a clinical tool backed by over 30 peer-reviewed studies.

DoD Support

In 2026, the U.S. Department of Defense awarded a $4.6M grant to further study the ItPBM Neuro Duo’s neuroprotective effects for service members and Veterans with chronic mTBI.

VA Partnership

ItPBM devices are listed on the GSA Advantage schedule and have been used in successful pilot programs at VAMCs in Boston, Utah, and through the Lovell Federal Health Care Center.

How to Access ItPBM Through the VA

ItPBM technology is eligible for coverage through the VA’s Prosthetics and Sensory Aids Service (PSAS) when deemed medically necessary by a VA provider (such as a Neurologist or PM&R specialist).

Pro-Tip: Because ItPBM is a "non-drug" intervention, it aligns perfectly with the VA’s Whole Health initiative. If you are struggling with the side effects of medications for TBI or PTSD, ItPBM offers a science-backed alternative.
