Testing Bright Light Therapy to Reduce Fatigue in Brain Tumor Survivors

This study is testing whether bright light therapy—delivered through special light glasses worn for 30 minutes each morning—can help young people who survived brain tumors feel less tired and have better focus and memory. Half of the participants will wear glasses that deliver bright light, while the other half will wear glasses with dim light (to see if the bright light itself makes a difference). Everyone will wear the glasses for 6 weeks, Monday through Friday, and complete questionnaires and thinking tests along the way.

Young brain tumor survivors often struggle with fatigue and trouble concentrating after their treatment ends, and these problems can last for years. This treatment is being tested because bright light exposure has helped reduce fatigue and improve thinking in other groups of people, and doctors want to see if it could help this population too.
