Bright Light Therapy for Sleep Disturbance in People With Multiple Sclerosis

Sponsor: Johns Hopkins University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

Sleep disturbance is common in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) and contributes to diminished quality of life. Bright light therapy may be an innovative strategy to reduce sleep disturbance in MS, possibly through its effects on a subtype of retinal ganglion cells that help regulate circadian rhythms and sleep. This pilot study will evaluate whether, in people with MS, bright light therapy reduces sleep disturbance and explore whether light therapy improves function of these cells.
