The context provided does not mention red light therapy specifically. However, it does discuss the use of ultraviolet (UV) light therapy for prurigo nodularis (PN). Here are some key points:

- Ultraviolet Light Therapy: UV light therapy, particularly UVB rays, is considered potentially helpful for PN. It can increase vitamin D levels and may ease symptoms like chronic itch.
