Botulinum toxin for light sensitivity after brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests if botulinum toxin type A (Botox) can reduce long-term light sensitivity in people who have had a traumatic brain injury at least a year ago. You must have had light sensitivity for 6 months or more and not have had Botox for face or mouth conditions before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a painless light therapy applied to the head can help older adults (55-85) who had a moderate or severe traumatic brain injury 1-2 years ago. It aims to see if the treatment improves thinking and memory.
This study aims to objectively measure how your pupils respond to light and how your eye muscles react using recording tests. It may help confirm the cause of light sensitivity (especially after a brain injury) and better track how it responds to care.
This trial tests whether breathing pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can help reduce long-term symptoms after a mild or moderate traumatic brain injury. It is for veterans and service members who have had a TBI at least one year ago and are still struggling with symptoms.
This study tests a special training program that uses sound and head movements to help people with long-lasting symptoms after a mild brain injury or sudden sensory event. The goal is to see if this 'neurosensory' training can reduce problems like dizziness, headache, and brain fog.
This study tests if a type of brain training called neurofeedback can help reduce sensitivity to light in people who have had a mild traumatic brain injury, also known as a concussion, at least 6 months ago.
This trial tests whether a training program using colored light targets can help reduce light sensitivity (photophobia) that some people experience after a traumatic brain injury. The training involves focusing your eyes on lights during several visits.
