By Ji Q, Yan S, Ding J, Zeng X, Liu Z, Zhou T, Wu Z, Wei W, Li H, Liu S and Ai S (2024) Front. Psychiatry. 14:1267415. doi: 10.3389/fpsyt.2023.1267415
In the Abstract, there was an error in the Results. It was previously reported “The best improvement for t-PBM was achieved using a wavelength of 823 nm, fluence of 10–100 J/cm2, irradiance of 50–100 mW/cm2, irradiance time of 30 min, treatment frequency < 3/week, and number of treatments > 15 times.” This has been corrected to: “The best improvement for t-PBM was achieved using a wavelength of 823 nm, fluence of 10–100 J/cm2, irradiance ≤ 50 mW/cm2, irradiance time of 30 min, treatment frequency < 3/week, and number of treatments > 15 times.”
There was an error in 5. Conclusion, Paragraph 1. “The irradiance selection of t-PBM was displayed as “50–100 mW/cm2”. The correct sentence is: “t-PBM wavelength selection 823 nm, fluence selection 10–100 J/cm2, irradiance selection ≤ 50 mW/cm2, irradiance time selection 30 min, treatment frequency < 3/week, number of treatments > 15 times”
