Light therapy for concussion recovery in teens
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
