Abstract

Light irradiation having a wavelength of 380-1200 nm was found to have beneficial healing properties on the nervous system. By the method, the regeneration of an injured spinal cord is induced by transplanting a nerve graft into an injured site of the spinal cord and post-operatively irradiating with light having the above specified wavelength.
