Whole-Body Light Therapy for Type 2 Diabetes
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether shining a special light on your whole body can help control blood sugar in people with Type 2 diabetes. It compares short-term and long-term effects and is looking for volunteers who are managing their diabetes stably.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 70 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.
- Your average blood sugar (HbA1c) is between 6.5% and 10%.

This trial tests whether a type of stem cell treatment (called cfMSC) can help people with long-standing type 2 diabetes who are not getting good blood sugar control from their current treatments. The therapy aims to improve blood sugar levels and may help preserve the body's ability to produce insulin.
This study tests whether a non-invasive light therapy (biophoton therapy) can help people with type 2 diabetes. It involves using a special device at home, and the goal is to see if it improves blood sugar control.
This trial tests an investigative cell treatment called RGB-5088 for people with type 2 diabetes who need insulin. The goal is to see if it is safe and can help improve blood sugar control.
This study tests whether whole body vibration therapy can help people with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar better. It involves standing on a vibrating platform for short sessions, which may improve muscle function and glucose control without needing exercise.
This study tests a painless light treatment (photobiomodulation) to see if it can prevent foot ulcers in people with type 2 diabetes who are at risk. If you qualify, you would receive the treatment regularly and be monitored for foot health.
This study tests whether controlled exposure to cold—which causes your body to shiver and produce heat—can help your body use insulin better. You'll undergo repeated cold sessions over several weeks while researchers monitor your blood sugar control and metabolism.
