Summary

This early-stage study tests whether a novel light therapy, designed to reset the body's internal clock, is safe and can reduce fatigue in people with progressive multiple sclerosis. Twenty participants will receive the light therapy while researchers monitor side effects and measure changes in tiredness. Fatigue is a common and tough symptom of MS with no approved drug treatments, so a safe, non-drug option could be a big help.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a safe, non-drug way to ease fatigue in progressive multiple sclerosis.
What could go wrong
This is a very early phase I trial with only 20 participants, focused on safety. It may not show meaningful fatigue reduction, and results may not apply to all MS patients.
