Light therapy for Parkinson's motor and thinking changes
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests whether shining light on the whole body (photobiomodulation) can help with movement and thinking problems in Parkinson's disease. It is for people in early to moderate stages who can walk independently.

This study tests whether light therapy can help people with Parkinson's disease. Participants will receive light therapy sessions and have their symptoms checked before, after, and three months later.
This trial tests whether regular light therapy can help people with Parkinson's disease. It is designed for patients whose symptoms are at a moderate stage and whose medication has been stable for a month or more.
This study tests if flashing light therapy can help with Parkinson's symptoms. It's for people with early-to-mid stage Parkinson's who have stable sleep and medication routines.
This trial tests whether high-frequency light, sound, and gentle touch can improve movement and thinking problems in people with Parkinson’s disease. You may help the researchers learn if this kind of stimulation is safe and beneficial alongside your usual Parkinson’s medications.
This study tests whether shining a special light (photobiomodulation) on the head can help improve memory and mood in older adults who feel their memory is getting worse and are worried about it. It is not for people with dementia or other serious health conditions.
This study tests whether a light therapy called transcranial photobiomodulation can affect brain activity and fine motor skills. It is for healthy young adults who are not taking psychiatric medication.
