NCT06094504
Spectral Lighting and Metabolism
Conditions: Intestinal Failure
Sex: All
Ages: N/A – 1 Year
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 32
Sponsor: Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati
Location: Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center Cincinnati Ohio
Summary
The goal of this exploratory n-of-1-study is to compare markers of metabolism in infants in a Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) between two lighting environments. Investigators are seeking to learn whether supplementing the lighting environment of infants in the NICU with blue and violet wavelengths of light will allow more efficient utilization of the nutrition provided to participants by influencing hormones involved in regulation of growth and development as compared to a conventional lighting environment.
Pre-clinical studies suggest that violet and blue wavelengths of light are involved in molecular pathways that help regulate metabolic activity.
