NCT ID NCT07064395
First seen Jul 02, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026
Summary
This trial tests whether daily bright light therapy can improve sleep and reduce biological aging in people with lung cancer. Participants wear a light visor for 4 weeks and track sleep, fatigue, and stress. The study compares bright light to usual light exposure to see if it helps with sleep quality and aging markers.
