Light therapy for stroke recovery in rehabilitation
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether exposure to naturalistic light can help reduce fatigue and depression after a stroke. It is designed for patients in a rehabilitation unit who are able to communicate and cooperate with simple physical exams.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a stroke and are in a rehabilitation unit.
- You can open both eyes and your eyes work normally.
- You can communicate and follow simple instructions.
- You are not claustrophobic (uncomfortable in enclosed spaces).
- You will stay in the rehabilitation unit for at least 10 days.

This study tests a light-based therapy (photobiomodulation) to see if it can help reduce muscle stiffness in people recovering from a stroke. Participants will continue their usual rehabilitation while receiving this additional treatment.
This study tests whether combining light therapy with blood-flow restriction exercise (a technique that limits blood flow during gentle movement) helps improve arm strength and reduce muscle stiffness in people recovering from stroke. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment.
This trial tests whether a combination of gentle brain stimulation (tDCS) and a talking therapy program can help reduce fatigue after a stroke. It aims to find a safe, non-drug way to improve energy and quality of life for stroke survivors.
This study checks whether tracking sitting time and light activity after stroke is helpful for recovery during rehabilitation. You would be monitored for daily movement, and the researchers want to see how activity patterns relate to recovery.
This trial studies whether daily 40 Hz light stimulation can reduce symptoms of major depression. You’d use a light device for about an hour each day for 6 weeks, while researchers track changes in depression severity.
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.
