Autism Research Project With Non-Invasive Near-Infrared Light Stimulation

Recruiting now · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Autism Spectrum Disorder

In brief

The investigators have previously shown that the administration of low-level infrared light is a safe and non-invasive procedure which improves cognition and emotion, as well as enhances brain metabolic activity. Based on previous studies, the investigators hypothesize that this methodology, called low-level light therapy or photobiomodulation, could be used to improve behavioral symptoms in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
