How light exposure affects migraine and sleep
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study looks at how office lighting and sleep quality affect migraine. You'll track your headaches and light exposure. The goal is to find ways to improve sleep and reduce migraine attacks.

This study looks at how your eyes react to light and how that relates to your sleep and body clock. By participating, you help researchers understand how light affects sleep and daily rhythms.
This study looks at how light affects sleep quality in older adults with mild memory or thinking problems. It may help find ways to improve sleep and possibly slow memory decline.
This study tests whether getting morning light exposure can improve mood for service members who currently have mild or more depression symptoms. You’d follow a plan for morning light over about 6 weeks, and the researchers check changes in mood.
This study uses a light-based test (the “photomotor reflex”) to see how non-visual effects of light may affect sleep-wake timing, brain function, mental health, and eyesight. You may be assigned to a group based on your condition, or you may be in the healthy control group.
This study tests how different colors of light affect your body and mind, like your sleepiness and alertness. It's for healthy adults and involves sitting in a room with colored light while your reactions and brain activity are measured.
This study explores how sleep and stress affect migraine headaches and tests whether improving sleep habits can help reduce migraines. You'll be observed and taught strategies over several months while researchers track your headaches and sleep patterns.
