Light therapy to help autism symptoms in young children
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special light therapy (photobiomodulation) can help improve core symptoms of autism in children ages 2–6. The light is applied to the skin and may help with communication, social skills, and behavior.

This trial tests if non-invasive near-infrared light stimulation can help people with autism. It is open to individuals aged 4 to 60.
This study combines three treatments—light therapy at acupoints, your child's own platelet-rich plasma, and umbilical cord exosomes—to see if they can help improve symptoms of autism spectrum disorder. It's for children ages 3 to 12 with an autism diagnosis, and you'll work closely with the study team.
This study tests if transcranial photobiomodulation (light therapy) can help children aged 6 to 18 with ADHD. It is for children who are not on other ADHD treatments.
This study tests a painless light therapy called transcranial photobiomodulation, combined with other treatments, to see if it helps children with ADHD. If you are between 6 and 18, have only ADHD (no other conditions), and are not currently on other ADHD treatments, you may qualify.
This study tests a new platform designed to measure and reduce autism symptoms in children ages 2 to 8. It may help if your child has an autism diagnosis and is not taking psychiatric medications.
