The Science Behind One

Explore the scientific research behind light, sound and vibration therapy.

The One is the first product that combines the power of light, sound and vibration therapies in a wearable device, letting you benefit from them 24/7. But the benefits of these therapies are nothing new.

There are over 10,000 peer-reviewed scientific studies on these therapies on the National Library of Medicine.

Below are some them.

Sound Therapy

From treating epilepsy and tinnitus to breast cancer and even chronic joint/muscle pain, scientists have been uncovering the benefits of sound therapy for decades.

Epilepsy

Treatment of epilepsy; sound therapy decreased epileptic “strikes” without the use of anti-epileptic drugs.

Breast Cancer

Treatment of best cancer and breast tumors; non-invasive sound therapy showed promising results as a treatment for breast tumors in combination with other treatments.

Psychological Conditions

Treatment of anxiety and agitation; sound therapy reduced anxiety and agitation in patients undergoing coronary bypass operations.

Treatment of anxiety and stress; sound therapy decreased feelings of anxiety and stress in patients under ventilation support;

Joint and Muscle Pain

Treatment of Temporomandibular Disorders (chronic facial pain); the effects of Temporomandibular Disorders were reduced with targeted sound therapy.

Tinnitus

Treatment of tinnitus (ringing in ears); sound therapy decreased tinnitus loudness and general annoyance.

Treatment results suggested that exposure to low-level sound therapy; may reduce the long-term effects of tinnitus.

Light Therapy

A number of scientific studies have shown the benefits of light therapy, particularly in the treatment of seasonal mood disorders and psychological conditions.

Depression

Treatment of depression; light therapy in patients experiencing depression was shown to be far more effective than anti-depressant drug use alone.

Treatment results showed that light therapy reduced depressive symptoms in geriatric patients.

Treatment of bipolar depression; study results suggested that light therapy was a viable treatment option for bipolar depression.

Mood Disorders

Treatment of seasonal affective disorder (symptoms include depression, fatigue, and social withdrawal); results showed light therapy treatment was far more effective at treating seasonal affective disorder than other treatment options.

Treatment results showed promise as a co-opted treatment for seasonal affective disorder.

Dementia & Alzheimer’s Disease

Treatment of Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia; light therapy was shown to improve sleep patterns in patients.

Treatment results suggested that light therapy could improve sleep/wake patterns in patients experiencing dementia.

Vibration Therapy

Targeted vibration therapy has shown outstanding results in the treatment of muscle strength, mobility, chronic pain, and more.

Muscle Strength

Treatment of muscles; targeted vibration therapy was shown to improve muscle strength.

Muscle and Joint Pain

Treatment of muscle & joint pain; vibration therapy was shown to be effective in treating lower back pain.

Treatment results showed a reduction in chronic ankle instability after utilizing vibration therapy.

Neurological Conditions

Treatment of chronic stroke patients; results showed improved gait and an increase in walking speed.

Treatment of motor function impairments; low-frequency vibration therapy was shown to improve mobility, balance, and postural control.

Treatment of cerebral palsy; treatment results showed improvements in gait speed, mobility, and bone density in children with cerebral palsy.
