Brain light therapy for healthy young adults
This trial studies a non-invasive light therapy (transcranial photobiomodulation) applied to the scalp to see how it affects brain activity. It is for young, healthy volunteers to find the best light frequency.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a light-based treatment that gently stimulates the brain to see if it can help improve attention and reduce hyperactivity in children with ADHD. It does not involve medication, focusing only on this non-invasive light therapy.
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 trial uses a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS to see how it affects how people process information. It may help researchers understand brain function in healthy younger and older adults.
