How anesthesia during pregnancy affects child development
This study looks at how being exposed to general anesthesia before birth might affect a child's thinking skills and brain development. It compares children who were exposed to anesthesia during a mother's surgery (like for appendicitis) with children who were not exposed, and also with children whose mothers had inflammatory bowel disease. The goal is to see if anesthesia plays a role in learning or emotional challenges later in childhood.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for neurodevelopmental disorders?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 95 recruiting neurodevelopmental disorders 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 neurodevelopmental disorders 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 neurodevelopmental disorders 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.
