There is no clinical evidence of any adverse effects of light therapy. A small number of users will experience headache, eyestrain, jitteriness or mild stomach discomfort. Usually these symptoms pass after a few exposures. When they do not, the dose of light (intensity or exposure duration) needs to be reduced.
