CCP intervention study for preterm infants in NICU
This pilot study tests whether a CCP (comforting, calming, and positioning) intervention can improve the NICU environment and help preterm babies develop better. It is for very premature infants born before 32 weeks or weighing under 3.3 pounds.
Matsumoto, NaganoAges 1 hour–1 week - NCT07418528Recruiting
Understanding early development in infants and toddlers
This study looks at how infants and toddlers develop, comparing children with different medical histories (like prematurity, genetic conditions, or developmental delays) to typically developing children. Your child will take part in a play-based developmental assessment, and you'll share basic health information.
Gdansk, Pomeranian VoivodeshipAges 2 weeks–3.5 years - NCT07531706Recruiting
How Babies' Brains Process Speech Sounds
This study measures how 7–8-month-old babies' brains respond to spoken language. Researchers want to understand early brain development and predict which babies might have language challenges later, especially those with a family history of language or learning difficulties.

Talk With Me Baby for early language development
This study tests a program called Talk With Me Baby, which coaches parents on talking with their infants to help boost their early language skills during regular well-child checkups. It is for caregivers who speak English and have a healthy full-term baby up to 9 months old.
Kansas City, KansasAges birth–9 months - NCT07296003Recruiting
Motor development study in preterm and full-term babies
This study looks at how babies born early or on time develop their motor skills. Researchers will watch videos of your baby's early movements and then ask you to fill out a questionnaire about their development when they are 18 to 36 months old.
Pardubice, CzechiaAges Up to 3 years - NCT05527080Recruiting
Study brain and movement development in healthy infants
This study looks at how infants’ movement (motility) and early thinking (cognition) develop over time. It may help researchers better understand normal development in healthy babies.
HelsinkiAges 5 months–2.2 years - NCT07627126Recruiting
Father Involvement in Baby Development Study
This study looks at how much fathers participate in caring for their babies and how this affects the baby's growth and development. Researchers want to understand whether father involvement makes a difference in infant outcomes.
NiğdeAges 4 months–6 months - NCT02683473Recruiting
Studies how babies use energy using special water
This study measures how healthy full-term infants use energy in their bodies by having them drink a special kind of water. It may help researchers better understand infant growth and metabolism, especially how feeding affects energy use.
Baton Rouge, LouisianaAges 1 month–3 months - NCT07490912Recruiting
Neonatal data and biobank study for preterm infants
This study collects health information and biological samples from very premature babies to understand what affects their development. It may help researchers find ways to improve care and outcomes for infants like yours.
Cologne, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges Up to 18 years - NCT07204613Enrolling by invitation
Baby Water Play for Development
This study tests if early aquatic stimulation helps babies develop motor and cognitive skills. It involves water classes twice a week for infants 3–7 months old.
Diamantina, Minas GeraisAges 3 months–7 months - NCT06536296Recruiting
Music therapy for preterm brain development
This study tests if specially designed music can help premature babies' brains grow stronger and healthier. It is for very preterm infants born between 24 and 30 weeks of pregnancy.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 6 months–7 months - NCT04755309Enrolling by invitation
Early rhythmic activities for Italian-speaking infants
This trial studies whether starting a rhythmic play/intervention early in life can support healthy babies’ development, including language-related outcomes. It enrolls specific infant ages and looks for certain family-language risk backgrounds while excluding some health and genetic/neurodevelopment conditions.
Bosisio Parini, LCAges 6 months–9 months - NCT05403632Recruiting
Mediterranean diet during pregnancy to support baby development
This study looks at whether eating a Mediterranean-style diet during early pregnancy can support healthy development of the baby. You may be able to join if you’re in your first trimester and willing to deliver at the study hospital units.
Agropoli, SAAges 18–50 - NCT07525726Recruiting
Finger Measurements and Baby Development Study
This research explores whether the ratio (comparison) of finger lengths in babies relates to their growth and developmental progress. Researchers will measure babies' fingers and track their physical and mental development over time.
NiğdeAges 1 year–1.5 years - NCT07081698Recruiting
Walnuts as a first solid food for healthy babies
This study tests whether adding walnuts (ground into a powder or paste) as a first solid food is safe and healthy for breastfed babies. It may help families understand how to introduce nuts early.
Fort Collins, ColoradoAges 5 months–5 months - NCT06475521Enrolling by invitation
Study of a new infant formula for healthy babies
This study tests a new infant formula to see how healthy babies grow and develop. If your baby is healthy, full-term, and formula-fed, they may be able to join.
DupnitsaAges birth–2 weeks - NCT06550245Recruiting
How babies' brains respond to strangers
This trial uses safe, non-invasive methods to study how healthy babies' brains react to seeing unfamiliar people. It may help us understand early social development.
Santa Cruz, CaliforniaAges 7 months–1 year - NCT05767242Recruiting
Early brain tests in babies at language risk
This study looks for early brain signals that may predict future language difficulties in very young children. It compares babies with a family history of language problems to babies without, using safe testing to see what markers show up early.
Bosisio Parini, LCAges 6 months–8 years - NCT05975203Recruiting
Skin-to-skin care test for late preterm newborns
This study looks at whether doing skin-to-skin care right after birth in a “continuous” way works well for babies born a bit early (late preterm). If you’re eligible, you may be offered structured skin-to-skin time soon after a vaginal delivery, and the team will monitor how the baby and parent do.
Cologne, Northrhine-westfaliaAges Any age - NCT06332521Recruiting
Baby crying sounds as early brain development clues
This study records cries from full-term and premature newborns to see if crying patterns can predict brain development. It may lead to earlier detection of developmental issues.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for infant development?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 92 recruiting infant development studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a infant development trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a infant development trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
