An Examination of Whether Infrared Light Therapy Can Reduce Stress in People With Epilepsy
NCT07509177 · Status: RECRUITING · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 80
Last updated 2026-04-23
Summary
Do you have Epilepsy? Would you like to participate in a study using PhotoBioModulation (PBM)? PBM is being researched for potential benefits in resolving many stress-related brain disorders. It is a non-invasive technique that delivers light energy to cells and tissues that can promote brain stabilization and self-regulation, cell repair, reduce oxidative stress, and enhance cellular function. We ask you to participate for about 3-4 months and come to our facility for 30 minute sessions 3x a week for 15 weeks. You will receive extensive metabolic testing and an Õura ring for your participation.

-
Photobiomodulation
Transcranial photobiomodulation emits low light (infrared) through the scalp and energizes mitochondria, which in turn produce more energy. It is assumed that many brain-related disorders are afflicted with this phenomenon.
