About this study

This trial is testing how light affects pain. Researchers will look at brain activity in people with chronic pain and healthy individuals to see if different colored lights change how the brain processes pain signals.

Based on ClinicalTrials.gov records.

What participants do

  • 1.Equal Energy White Visual Stimulus
