Recruiting studies
- NCT02496104Recruiting
Study brain “habituation” in preterm and full-term babies
This study looks at how babies’ brains get used to repeated sights or sounds (habituation) in both preterm and full-term infants. It may help researchers understand early brain development differences and improve care for newborns.
BrestAges 2 days–2 months - NCT02601339Recruiting

Testing a treatment from donor breast milk for early preterm babies
This trial studies a treatment made from special particles in donor breast milk, given to very early-born babies who are at risk of a serious gut infection called NEC. It aims to see if these particles can help protect their intestines.
Valencia, ValenciaAges birth–2 weeks - 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.

HsinchuAges 1 day–1 week - 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 - 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.
Bosisio Parini, LeccoAges 7 months–8 months - NCT07534735Recruiting
Testing a New Stage 3 Infant Formula for Growth and Health
This study tests whether a new infant formula helps toddlers grow well and stay healthy. Researchers will compare infants who receive this formula with others to see if it supports normal development.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 1 year–1.5 years - NCT07596147Recruiting
Early Movement Training for At-Risk Infants
This trial tests an early intervention program called SAFE for babies aged 3–12 months who had complications at birth or were born prematurely. The goal is to help their brain and movement development through specialized therapy.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 3 months–1 year - NCT07634445Recruiting
Breathing exercises to reduce anxiety in mothers of NICU babies
This study tests whether simple breathing exercises done before breastfeeding can help reduce stress and anxiety in mothers whose babies are in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The goal is to improve both the mother's well-being and the baby's stress levels.
Elâzığ, ElâzığAges 18 years+ - NCT07444528Enrolling by invitation
Neck ultrasound to predict difficult breathing tube placement in babies
This study uses an ultrasound of the neck to see if doctors can predict which babies under 1 year old might have a harder time getting a breathing tube placed. The goal is to improve safety during anesthesia and procedures.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 12 months - 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 - NCT06571006Enrolling by invitation
Music therapy for pain relief during spinal tap in babies
This study tests whether playing gentle music during a lumbar puncture (a spinal tap) can help lower a baby's pain. It's for newborn infants who need this procedure and have normal hearing.
ErzurumAges 1 month–1 month - NCT06429007Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Metformin for infants after brain injury from HIE
This trial tests whether metformin, a common diabetes medicine, can help heal brain injury in infants who had HIE (lack of oxygen at birth) and were treated with cooling. It aims to see if the drug is safe and possible to give to babies between 3 and 6 months old.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 3 months–6 months - NCT05049655Enrolling by invitation
Study diet and growth markers in babies
This study builds a shared database about early baby nutrition and health markers. It may help researchers find early “signals” in babies that relate to growth and development, which could guide future care.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges birth–5 years - NCT03836300Enrolling by invitation
Parent-infant coaching for families with young diagnoses
This study tests a parent-and-infant coaching program for babies and caregivers. It aims to see whether the program helps after an early diagnosis when English is used at home.
Research Triangle Park, North CarolinaAges Up to 99 years - NCT07522346Recruiting
Ventilator Pressure Levels During Surfactant Therapy in Preterm Infants
This study tests whether different pressure levels used during a minimally invasive surfactant procedure (MIST)—a way to deliver lung-coating medicine without a breathing tube—affect how well preterm infants' lungs inflate. Researchers hope to find the best pressure settings to help babies breathe more easily.
Saint Albans, VictoriaAges 6 months–7 months - NCT05223192Recruiting
Testing music to improve breathing and brain oxygen in preemies
This study looks at whether planned music sessions can help preterm babies breathe more steadily and improve oxygen reaching the brain. It may help staff learn how to use music therapy safely for newborns in the NICU.
New York, New YorkAges 6 months–9 months - NCT06794164Recruiting
Immediate skin-to-skin care for preterm babies at birth
This study tests if immediate skin-to-skin contact (holding your baby directly on your chest) right after birth helps preterm babies born between 26 and 32 weeks. Your baby might be placed on your skin while still in the delivery room, which could improve their breathing and temperature and help you bond.
Graz, StyriaAges birth–30 minutes - NCT06361303Recruiting
SNOO smart sleeper study for infant safety
This study is looking at how well the SNOO smart sleeper helps keep babies safe during sleep. If you have or plan to use a SNOO and your baby has certain risk factors, you may be able to join.
