Light therapy for brain recovery after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special light (PBM) can improve brain activity in people recovering from a stroke. It may help with thinking, movement, or other functions affected by the stroke.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke (confirmed by a doctor).
- Your stroke happened within the last year and you still have some functional problems.
- You are awake, aware, and can cooperate with the light treatment and tests.
- You are 18 to 79 years old.
- You or your legal guardian can sign a consent form.

This study tests a new type of brain stimulation called temporal interference stimulation to see if it can safely help people recover language abilities after a stroke. It aims to improve communication for people with post-stroke aphasia.
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 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 trial studies different doses of a targeted brain stimulation technique to treat aphasia (language problems) after a first stroke. If you qualify, the goal is to see whether the treatment can improve your ability to understand and speak.
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.
This trial tests a focused brain stimulation approach (cTBS) guided by a planning method (pBFS) to improve language problems after stroke. If you have new stroke-related aphasia, it may help your ability to understand and produce speech as you recover.
