Clinical Trial Summary

There is evidence that some of the circadian photoreceptors, the intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs), project directly to the amygdala, an area of the brain implicated in PTSD. Thus, a self-administered morning light treatment at home (shifts clock earlier and stimulates ipRGCs) may be a potentially efficacious adjunctive strategy for reducing PTSD symptoms. This study will test a 4 week daily 1 hour morning light treatment (active vs placebo) in individuals with PTSD. Outcome measures include measures of PTSD and depression.
