Shortly after the Gulf War, Viitala hit his head in an accident in Saudi Arabia. When he visited the War Related Illness and Injury Study Center (WRIISC) in East Orange, NJ, he was diagnosed with traumatic brain injury. At the WRIISC, a doctor referred him to the VA Boston Healthcare System’s light-emitting diode (LED) therapy program.

VA’s Center for Compassionate Care Innovation has been working with VHA staff in Boston to explore the use of Vielight’s LED stimulation since 2018.

Last year, Viitala completed a 12-week course of Vielight LED treatment while in communication with his VHA health care provider.
