Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: This review assesses the effectiveness and safety of light therapy, particularly green light therapy, as an emerging non-pharmacological treatment for chronic migraine (CM). It aims to highlight alternative or complementary approaches to traditional pharmacological remedies, focusing the need for diverse treatment options.
RESULTS: Despite sensitivity to light being a defining feature of migraine, light therapy has shown promising signs in providing substantial symptom relief. Studies have provided insights into green light therapy\'s role in managing CM. These studies consistently demonstrate its efficacy in reducing the frequency, severity, and symptoms of migraines. Additional benefits observed include improvements in sleep quality and reductions in anxiety. Importantly, green light therapy has been associated with minimal side effects, indicating its potential as a suitable option for migraine sufferers. In addition to green light, other forms of light therapy, such as infrared polarized light, low-level laser therapy (LLLT), and intravascular irradiation of blood (ILIB), are also being explored with potential therapeutic effects. Light therapies, especially green light therapy, are recognized as promising, safe, and non-pharmacological interventions for treating CM. They have been shown to be effective in decreasing headache frequency and enhancing the overall quality of life. However, current studies, often limited by small sample sizes, prompt more extensive clinical trials to better understand the full impact of light therapies. The exploration of other light-based treatments, such as LLLT and ILIB, warrants further research to broaden the scope of effective migraine management strategies.

摘要：
目的：本综述评估了光疗的有效性和安全性，特别是绿光疗法，作为一种新兴的非药物治疗慢性偏头痛（CM）。它旨在强调传统药物治疗的替代或补充方法，关注不同治疗方案的需要。
结果：尽管对光线的敏感性是偏头痛的决定性特征，光疗法在提供实质性症状缓解方面显示出有希望的迹象。研究提供了有关绿光疗法在管理CM中的作用的见解。这些研究一致证明了它在降低频率方面的功效，严重程度,还有偏头痛的症状.观察到的其他益处包括改善睡眠质量和减少焦虑。重要的是,绿光疗法与最小的副作用有关，表明其作为偏头痛患者的合适选择的潜力。除了绿灯，其他形式的光疗，如红外偏振光，低水平激光治疗（LLLT），和血管内血液照射（ILIB），也正在探索潜在的治疗效果。光疗法,尤其是绿光疗法,被认为是有前途的，安全,和非药物干预治疗CM。已证明它们可有效减少头痛频率并提高整体生活质量。然而,目前的研究,通常受限于小样本量，促使更广泛的临床试验，以更好地了解光疗法的全部影响。其他基于光的治疗方法的探索，例如LLLT和ILIB，值得进一步研究，以扩大有效的偏头痛管理策略的范围。
