Light therapy’s effect on blood flow in healthy adults
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study tests if shining a specific type of light on your skin can improve blood flow in tiny blood vessels. You'll come in for two sessions where we apply different light wavelengths and measure your skin’s response.

This study measures how blood flow responds after a non-surgical energy test. It is likely looking for normal, healthy blood-flow reactions and how different people respond.
This trial tests light therapy (photobiomodulation) to see if it helps people with high blood pressure who still have trouble controlling it with medication. It is a short study looking at an acute effect.
This study tests a special light therapy applied to the whole body to see how light bounces off different skin areas. It may help future treatments that use light for healing or pain relief.
This study tests whether shining a special near-infrared light on the head can improve how well your brain works and how clearly you think. It is for healthy younger and older adults who want to help find new ways to support brain health.
This study tests whether a specific type of light therapy called photobiomodulation can help improve blood vessel function and blood pressure control in people already taking losartan (a blood pressure medication). Researchers will use light applied to your arm to see if it provides additional benefits beyond your current medication.
This study tests whether a red-light therapy can improve symptoms or function in people with peripheral artery disease (poor blood flow to the legs). You may qualify if your leg circulation test is abnormal and you can safely take part in the study.
