SITTING in front of a light box for 45 minutes a day is a promising treatment to reduce fatigue in patients with traumatic brain injuries, researchers have shown.

Light therapy has previously been used for seasonal affective disorder, studies showing that light hitting the back of the eye can stimulate changes to hormones in the brain and reset the body's circadian rhythm.

Professor of neuropsychology at Monash University, Jennie Ponsford, said she was initially sceptical about its potential to treat patients with traumatic brain injuries, who commonly suffer debilitating fatigue.
