Light exposure program for young survivors of childhood brain tumors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a structured light-exposure routine can improve symptoms like fatigue and how survivors feel day to day. It is aimed at children and teens who have recovered from a non–high-risk type of brain tumor and have mild to moderate fatigue.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

- Your tumor was not a high-grade glioma, brain stem glioma, or atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor
- You are at least 1 year past your diagnosis and have mild to moderate fatigue (PROMIS survey)
- You can do computer tasks (adequate vision) and can speak English
- Your IQ is above 70, and your long-term survivorship doctor approves you

This study tests whether a home-based exercise program (done through video calls) can help reduce fatigue in young adult brain tumor survivors. If you’re 18–39 and struggle with tiredness after treatment, this program may help you feel better.
This trial tests whether a special light therapy (photobiomodulation) can help teenagers recover faster from a sports-related concussion. If you qualify, you will receive the light treatment in addition to your usual care, and researchers will track your symptoms and thinking skills over time.
This trial tests whether light therapy and an occupational therapy fatigue program can reduce fatigue in people with certain urinary-system cancers who still have mild fatigue during treatment. It may help you feel more energized and manage day-to-day activity while cancer treatment is ongoing.
This trial tests a light-based treatment called photobiomodulation to see if it can help with memory and thinking problems that some people have after cancer treatment. It is for people who finished chemotherapy or radiation more than 6 months ago but less than 5 years ago, and who notice cognitive issues.
This study tests if daily bright light therapy can help people with advanced melanoma or lung cancer feel better during their first immunotherapy treatment. The light box is used at home for a short time each morning.
This trial tests a special bright light therapy designed to help your body's natural sleep-wake cycle. It is being studied for people with advanced melanoma who are about to receive TIL therapy, a treatment that uses your own immune cells to fight the cancer. The light therapy might help improve how you feel during treatment.
