Infrared light therapy for stress in epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests if infrared light therapy can help reduce stress in people with epilepsy. You would wear a ring to track your sleep and activity, and attend 45 light therapy sessions over several months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have epilepsy with at least one seizure in the past 6 months
- You agree to keep your current seizure medications the same or reduce them only if your doctor says it's okay
- You can attend 45 light therapy sessions and several check-in visits over about 6 months
- You are willing to wear an Oura ring all the time (except when charging)

This trial tests a new type of stimulation placed under the skin to help control seizures in people with epilepsy. It is for patients whose seizures are not controlled with medication and who cannot have surgery.
This study tests a new type of brain stimulation called temporal interference to help people with epilepsy that hasn't responded well to medications. Researchers want to see if this approach can reduce seizures and improve thinking or memory problems.
This study tests a non-invasive focused ultrasound treatment for people with epilepsy that doesn't respond to medications. The goal is to see if this gentle ultrasound can reduce seizures without surgery.
This trial tests whether shining a special infrared light on the scalp can reduce seizures in adults with epilepsy that is not controlled by standard medications. You would receive the light treatments and keep a diary of your seizures.
This exploratory study tests how a wearable brain-sensing setup (with sensor leads/earbuds) works for people with stress, anxiety, or sleep problems. You may be asked to sit still during sessions and complete brief questionnaires to confirm your symptoms.
This study tests whether shining near-infrared light through the head can change brain blood flow and reduce depression symptoms. If you have major depression, you may be offered a non-drug, device-based approach to see how well it helps.
