There is one clinical trial.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of disability in the Veteran population, often resulting in chronic pain and sleep disturbances, among other issues. Extensive rehabilitative efforts are usually required and often prevent return to the workforce and community. Disturbed sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness are among the most pervasive and enduring problems after TBI, which the investigators hypothesize is a significant contributor to these functional impairments and an impediment toward rehabilitation. Thus, this research aims to enhance sleep quality as a means to reduce pain and improve quality of life and functional outcome measures in Veterans with TBI. The investigators predict that the proposed intervention, morning bright light therapy, if found effective, will be cost-effective, rapidly deployable, and highly accepted by Veterans with TBI.
Description: NIH PROMIS Pain Scale 4 questions; each question is a 0-4 scale, total score range is 0-16 Higher scores represent worse outcomes
Measure: self-reported pain change determined via the NIH PROMIS scale Time: Pre- and post-4 weeks of MBLT or sham treatment, and 12 weeks following the end of MBLT or sham treatment
