Overview

Linda L. Chao is affiliated with the University of California, San Francisco in the United States. Their research primarily spans the field of Medicine, with a particular emphasis on Psychiatry and Mental Health, General Health Professions, Radiology, Nuclear Medicine and Imaging, Pharmacology, and Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis.

The main topics covered in their work include Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Research, Dementia and Cognitive Impairment Research, Health, psychology, and well-being, Stroke Rehabilitation and Recovery, Stress Responses and Cortisol, Laser Applications in Dentistry and Medicine, and Medical and Biological Ozone Research.

Among their recent published papers are:

  • Changes in Brain Function and Structure After Self-Administered Home Photobiomodulation Treatment in a Concussion Case (2020, Frontiers in Neurology)
  • Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia in veterans with gulf war illness: Results from a randomized controlled trial (2021, Life Sciences)

Chao has collaborated frequently with several coauthors, including Maxine Krengel, Margaret A. Chesney, Kimberly Sullivan, Deborah E. Barnes, and Nancy G. Klimas.

The scientist has published repeatedly in a range of academic journals. Frequent publication venues include:

  • Innovation in Aging
  • International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health
  • Environmental Health
  • Frontiers in Neurology
  • Life Sciences

Their work intersects biomedical imaging and neurological health, often employing techniques such as photobiomodulation in cognitive and neurological contexts. Notable studies involve the investigation of brain function and structure changes following treatment, as well as interventions for insomnia in veterans with Gulf War illness.

The breadth of their publication record and coauthor network indicates active collaboration in interdisciplinary fields combining neuropsychiatry, health psychology, and therapeutic interventions for chronic and cognitive conditions. The scientist's research contributes to enhanced understanding of health conditions linked to neurological and psychological well-being.
