Light therapy for stress in healthy adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether shining a special light on your body (photobiomodulation) can help lower stress. You will attend a few sessions, and we will measure how your heart responds to stress.

This trial tests if gentle electrical stimulation on the head and ear can help people with chronic stress. You'll receive either real or fake stimulation in multiple sessions to see if it reduces your stress symptoms.
This study tests if a short session of virtual reality and specially designed sounds (binaural beats) can help healthy adults feel less stressed. Volunteers attend a single 60-minute session.
This trial tests whether different light levels affect stress, anxiety, and well-being in women in their last three months of pregnancy. If you are in your third trimester, you may help researchers learn how to improve comfort.
This study tests if different light colors can help reduce stress and anxiety during a nonstress test (a check on baby's heart rate and movement) in pregnant women with high-risk pregnancies. If you're in your last trimester and willing to participate, this trial may help you feel more comfortable during monitoring.
This study tests if a gentle nerve stimulation device on the ear can help healthy adults manage stress while doing tasks like public speaking or math. It compares stimulation to a sham (fake) device.
This trial tests a special light device (called transcranial photobiomodulation) to see if it can safely improve depression in people with bipolar disorder. It is non-invasive and involves wearing a headset that shines near-infrared light on the scalp.
