Light plus job therapy for fatigue in genitourinary cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You can read and speak English well enough for the study
- You have a genitourinary cancer (like prostate, kidney, or bladder) and you are on active cancer treatment (medicine or radiation)
- Your clinician says your fatigue is mild (grade 1 or 2) and you score 30 or less on a fatigue questionnaire (FACIT-Fatigue)
- Your expected outlook is at least 6 months, and you can give consent yourself
- You have no major reasons you can’t use light therapy (like major untreated eye problems or seizure/light sensitivity)

This Phase 2 study tests whether a “bright white light” intervention can reduce cancer-related fatigue and depression in people with advanced prostate cancer receiving hormone-based treatment. If it works, it could improve day-to-day well-being while you’re on standard cancer therapies.
This study tests whether special light therapy timed to your body's natural rhythms can improve how well your immune cells (called TIL therapy) fight advanced melanoma. You must already be enrolled in standard TIL therapy and have progressed despite previous immunotherapy.
This trial tests photobiomodulation (PBM), a light-based therapy, to improve cancer-related cognitive impairment—thinking, memory, and concentration—after cancer treatment. If you had certain cancers and still notice cognitive problems, this study may help see whether PBM can reduce those symptoms.
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.
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 study tests whether a special type of light therapy (called photobiomodulation) can reduce severe tiredness in people with chronic fatigue syndrome. The light is applied to the skin and may help boost energy levels and improve daily function.
