Light vs X-ray for finding cavities in kids' back teeth
This trial tests a new light-based tool (near-infrared light) compared to traditional X-rays to find hidden cavities between baby molars. The goal is to see if the light method is better at spotting cavities and if kids like it more.
BangkokAges 4–10 - NCT06943625Recruiting
Green light and brain stimulation for migraine
This trial tests whether combining green light therapy with a gentle brain stimulation technique (transcranial direct current stimulation, or tDCS) can help reduce migraine pain. It may be an option for people with frequent migraines who have not found relief from other treatments.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 18 years+ - NCT06850168Recruiting
Can special glasses slow down nearsightedness in children?
This trial tests a new type of spectacle lens designed to slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia) in children. If your child is between 6 and 10 years old, has mild to moderate nearsightedness, and is willing to wear glasses full-time for two years, this study may be a good fit.
SingaporeAges 6–11 - NCT06720090RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Light therapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
This study tests whether morning light therapy can help people with OCD who have late bedtimes. It aims to improve symptoms by shifting your body's internal clock earlier.

Testing light or melatonin to help brain recovery after stroke
This study looks at whether changing your sleep timing using light therapy or melatonin can improve “brain rewiring” after an ischemic stroke. It mainly focuses on people who arrive very soon after stroke symptoms and who also meet specific safety and sleep/medication requirements.
Saint PetersburgAges 18–80 - NCT06687304Recruiting
Lighting effects on radiographers in hospitals
This trial studies how lighting in a hospital environment affects radiographers. It aims to understand if different lighting designs can improve comfort, well-being, or performance at work.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for light?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 272 recruiting light studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a light trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a light trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
