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 daily body rhythms. It may help researchers understand sleep problems and find better ways to treat them.
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 colored lights affect people’s responses and comfort. It does this by comparing your experience under colored lighting conditions in a controlled setting.
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.
This study looks at how glaucoma affects your body's natural light sensing, which can impact sleep, alertness, mood, and memory. Researchers compare people with glaucoma to healthy volunteers to understand these effects better.
