Light Training to Help Light Sensitivity After Head Injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a training program using colored light targets can help reduce light sensitivity (photophobia) that some people experience after a traumatic brain injury. The training involves focusing your eyes on lights during several visits.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18–80 and able to give your own consent to participate
- Had a mild or moderate head injury at least 3 months ago that caused increased sensitivity to light
- Vision of at least 20/32 in each eye separately, and 20/25 with both eyes together (corrected with glasses or contacts if needed)
- Able to complete the entire first session without stopping early
- Not pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study
- No history of severe head injury, neurodegenerative diseases, eye diseases, or seizures

This study uses a virtual reality device that shines light into your eyes to check how your pupils react. It aims to help diagnose and track traumatic brain injury in soldiers.
This study tests if a type of brain training called neurofeedback can help reduce sensitivity to light in people who have had a mild traumatic brain injury, also known as a concussion, at least 6 months ago.
This study aims to objectively measure how your pupils respond to light and how your eye muscles react using recording tests. It may help confirm the cause of light sensitivity (especially after a brain injury) and better track how it responds to care.
This study tests whether a painless light therapy applied to the head can help older adults (55-85) who had a moderate or severe traumatic brain injury 1-2 years ago. It aims to see if the treatment improves thinking and memory.
This study tests whether light therapy can help people sleep better after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Researchers will use MRI brain scans and sleep tracking to see if light therapy changes how your brain clears toxins during sleep.
This study tests if botulinum toxin type A (Botox) can reduce long-term light sensitivity in people who have had a traumatic brain injury at least a year ago. You must have had light sensitivity for 6 months or more and not have had Botox for face or mouth conditions before.
