Light therapy for chronic pain and fatigue in Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Pain, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a non-invasive light therapy called photobiomodulation can reduce chronic pain and fatigue in people with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), a genetic condition affecting connective tissue. The light is applied to the skin and may help cells produce energy and reduce inflammation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
