Last chance to take part in low energy light bulb trial
Posted 01/02/10
To look at the issue of how low energy light bulbs may affect people with migraine, Migraine Action will be conducting a trial using established research methods to try to identify the new types of light technologies which are less likely to cause migraines. We have collaborated with a leading UK light manufacturer, Megaman, who has developed a whole range of light bulbs with different colours, light filters and using technology that should reduce the negative impact of the newer type of lighting.
If you currently suffer from migraine and are light sensitive and are interested in receiving more information about this trial and volunteering to test light bulbs in your own home, please call 0116 275 8317 or email info@migraine.org.uk
People interested in taking part will be sent an initial questionnaire. Those then found to be suitable will be sent a selection of lightbulbs to try and will be required to complete a follow-up questionnaire.
