U.S., Jan. 1 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07311928) titled 'HELIOS: Human Embryo Illumination to Enhance Development' on Dec. 03, 2025.
Brief Summary: Embryos need a lot of energy to grow, but as women get older, the "power plants" of the cells (called mitochondria) don't work as well. This makes it harder for embryos to develop normally. One possible way to help is with a gentle light treatment called photobiomodulation (PBM). This uses a special type of red light that boosts energy production in cells and helps them stay healthy. This study will test whether adding this light treatment during in vitro fertilization (IVF) can improve embryo growth and pregnancy chances.
