What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial aims to determine if using Green Light Therapy twice a week for 20 minutes can continue to improve body composition over time. Green Light Therapy is a non-invasive method that may enhance energy, balance, and overall renewal. Participants will serve as their own control, with progress measured against their initial state. Suitable candidates include those already using Green Light Therapy, who can read and understand English, and reside in the U.S.

As an unphased trial, this study provides a unique opportunity to explore the potential benefits of Green Light Therapy in a flexible research setting.

Do I have to stop taking my current medications for this trial?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.

What prior data suggests that Green Light Therapy is safe for body composition?

Research has shown that Green Light Therapy is generally safe and easy to manage. One study found that this therapy can aid in fat loss and body contouring without surgery or skin penetration. It is considered safe and painless. However, some light therapies may carry risks, such as accelerating skin aging or increasing the long-term risk of skin cancer. Considering these risks and consulting a healthcare provider is important to determine if this therapy is suitable. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why are researchers excited about this trial?

Green Light Therapy is unique because it utilizes a non-invasive light-based approach to potentially influence body composition. Unlike traditional methods like diet, exercise, or medications that alter metabolism, Green Light Therapy uses specific wavelengths of green light to interact with biological processes in the body. Researchers are excited about this treatment because it could offer a novel way to manage body composition without the need for pharmaceuticals or intensive lifestyle changes. This therapy might provide a simpler, more natural alternative with fewer side effects compared to current options.

What evidence suggests that Green Light Therapy might be an effective treatment for body composition?

Research has shown that Green Light Therapy might help improve body shape. One study found that a treatment similar to green light led to noticeable body size reduction after eight sessions over four weeks. Another study demonstrated that 12 sessions over six weeks helped reduce body weight, BMI, body fat, and body fat percentage. This trial will involve a single arm where participants act as their own control, allowing observation of Green Light Therapy's effects on body composition. Positive results from previous studies highlight the potential benefits of ongoing use. ^{4 6 7 8 9}
