Maternal mental health and baby's brain in heart disease
This study looks at how a mother's mental health during pregnancy may affect the brain development of babies with a serious heart condition called critical cyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD). It aims to understand this link to improve support for families.
MarseilleAges Up to 50 years - NCT03331133Recruiting
Study of twins born in Guangzhou
This study focuses on twins who were born at Guangzhou Women and Children’s Medical Center. It aims to use pregnancy and baseline information to learn about twin outcomes and care, and it may help local doctors improve guidance for families in Guangzhou.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Up to 18 years - NCT03396562Recruiting
Study of early development in babies with extra sex chromosomes
This study follows infants and young children with conditions caused by having an extra sex chromosome (like XXY, XYY, or XXX) to learn how health and development unfold over time. It may help families and doctors understand what to expect and what support could be helpful.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 1 month–1.1 years - NCT03633162Recruiting
Study about maternal grandmothers’ effects on babies
This study looks at whether what maternal grandmothers know, do, or influence during a pregnancy is linked to outcomes for grandchildren. You may be included if your grandchild was born at the study hospital and key pregnancy details are available.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 36–100 - NCT03668327Recruiting
Study of babies born early in Guangzhou
This study follows babies who were born early (before 37 weeks) to learn more about health outcomes over time. It may help doctors better understand and support families after an early birth.
GuangzhouAges Up to 18 years - NCT04529889Recruiting
Study of gestational diabetes during pregnancy and child outcomes
This study follows pregnant people with gestational diabetes to see how it affects mothers and babies over time. The team may use this information to better understand risks and care for both you and your child.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT04685356Recruiting
Testing IBAIP for brain development in very preterm babies
This study looks at whether the IBAIP program can improve neurodevelopment (how the brain grows and works) in babies born very early. Babies are included only if they have a normal early neurological exam after being “corrected for prematurity.”
AngersAges 6 months–7 months - NCT04964206Recruiting
Epidural pain relief in labor and baby brain development
This trial studies how epidural pain relief during vaginal labor may affect a child’s early brain and development. It’s for first-time, term pregnancies where you plan a vaginal birth.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–35 - NCT05038462Recruiting
Fetal care study for babies with slow growth
This study looks at therapies meant to support brain development in babies whose growth is slower than expected before birth. It enrolls pregnancies in a specific time window and uses ultrasound/Doppler testing to make sure the baby is not likely needing delivery immediately.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05537454Recruiting
Study how maternal stress and milk affect preterm baby development
This study looks at whether stress during pregnancy and differences in breast milk are linked to how preterm babies develop, especially their early brain development. If you and your baby meet the criteria, the team will collect information and samples while your baby is still in the hospital.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 6 months–8 months - NCT05578716Recruiting
Study growth and allergies in formula-fed vs breastfed infants
This trial compares how babies grow and whether they develop allergy or digestive symptoms in breastfed infants versus infants fed a special hydrolysed formula. It may help doctors understand which feeding approach supports healthy development early in life.
