Recruiting studies
- NCT06693817Recruiting
Wireless sensors for newborns in the delivery room

Newborn positions during delayed cord clamping
This trial looks at whether different positions for the baby while waiting to clamp the umbilical cord can improve the baby's comfort and health measures. It is for full-term, healthy babies born vaginally.
MersinAges birth+ - NCT07716813Recruiting
Breast milk or sugar water for pain during heel prick in babies
This study tests whether giving breast milk or sugar water (10% or 20% dextrose) just before a routine heel prick can reduce pain and keep your baby's heart rate and oxygen levels more stable. It is designed for moderately premature babies in the NICU.
MersinAges 7 months–3.1 years - NCT07364903Recruiting
Family care for preterm babies in the hospital
This trial tests whether a program that brings parents into the daily care of their preterm or low-birth-weight baby can help the baby recover faster and go home sooner. If you can spend up to 8 hours a day at the hospital, this study may be a good fit.
Mek'ele, TigrayAges Any age - NCT06549218Recruiting
Genetic newborn screening for rare diseases
This study tests a new way to screen newborns for rare genetic diseases using a blood sample. It aims to find treatable conditions early so that babies can get care sooner.
DijonAges Up to 2 years - NCT02283229Enrolling by invitation
Early newborn head shaping after birth study
This study looks at how gently shaping a newborn’s head in the first days after birth might affect head shape later. It may help researchers understand how to reduce uneven head shape in babies.
OuluAges 1 day–6 days - NCT06256406Recruiting
Comfort, kangaroo care, and music therapy for NICU newborns
This trial tests whether a comfortable environment, kangaroo care (skin-to-skin contact), and music therapy can help newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). It aims to see if these gentle approaches improve their well-being.
Catania, SicilyAges birth–3 years - NCT07838402Enrolling by invitation
Smart sock heart rate monitoring for hospitalized newborns
This trial tests a soft, sock-like device that tracks your baby's heart rate while they are in the hospital. It may offer a gentler way to keep an eye on their vital signs without disturbing them.
Tampere, PirkanmaaAges birth–4 weeks - NCT06594458Recruiting
New method to keep mom and baby together after C-section
This study tests a new procedure to reduce separation between mother and newborn after a planned C-section. It may help babies with mild breathing problems who need a little extra oxygen stay with their moms instead of going to a separate nursery.
RomaAges 1 minute–3 days - NCT07747220Recruiting
Abdominal massage for newborn jaundice
This study tests if gentle belly massage can help reduce jaundice in healthy full-term newborns. It may help lower bilirubin levels and support your baby's recovery without extra medication.
Taichung, TaiwanAges birth–1 day - NCT07747649Recruiting
Multisensory stimulation for pain from newborn heel pricks
This study tests whether combining gentle touches, sounds, and other sensory input can reduce pain when newborns get a routine heel prick for blood tests. If you have a healthy newborn staying with you in the hospital's newborn care unit, this might make those pricks less uncomfortable.
Ankara, BeşevlerAges 1 day–4 weeks - NCT07736235Recruiting
Does amniotic fluid odor help newborns adapt and reduce stress?
This study tests if exposing newborns to the scent of amniotic fluid shortly after birth helps them adapt more easily and feel less stressed. It may offer a simple, soothing way to support babies delivered by cesarean section.
Aydin, EfelerAges 9 months–10 months - NCT07728058Recruiting
Dry vs. alcohol care for newborns' umbilical cords
This trial compares two ways to care for a newborn's umbilical cord stump: keeping it dry versus cleaning it with alcohol. It aims to find which method is better for healthy babies.
New Taipei City, TaiwanAges birth–4 weeks - NCT07670624Recruiting
Biomarker test for bacterial infection in newborns
This trial tests a new biomarker (T6A) to detect bacterial infections in newborn babies. It aims to help doctors diagnose infections faster and more accurately.
SalzburgAges Any age - NCT04898114RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Inhaled magnesium and sildenafil for newborn lung blood pressure
This study tests whether breathing in magnesium sulfate and giving sildenafil can improve breathing and lung blood vessel pressure in newborns with persistent pulmonary hypertension. It may help newborns who are having trouble oxygenating despite being on a ventilator.
SohagAges 6 hours–3 days - NCT04218318Recruiting
Stopping light therapy early in newborns with blood breakdown
This study looks for a safe threshold to stop the “light therapy” (phototherapy) in newborns who have jaundice caused by blood cell breakdown (hemolytic disease). It may help some babies avoid unnecessary extra days of treatment while still staying safe.
MadinahAges 1 hour–2 weeks - NCT07488520RecruitingPhase 4
Early sickle cell testing for newborns
This study tests a simple blood test for newborn babies to find sickle cell disease early. If the test shows your baby has it, they can get care right away to stay healthier.
AbidjanAges birth–6 months - NCT07344714Recruiting
Predicting breathing help needs for newborns in NICUs
This study looks at newborns in a lower-level NICU to see which ones will need extra breathing support. The goal is to better predict which babies can be kept at their current hospital instead of being moved.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 7 months–9 months - NCT07349927Recruiting
Parent training on toxins and baby's health
This study tests whether teaching parents about endocrine disruptors (chemicals that can affect hormones) can reduce the levels of these chemicals in newborns' urine. It aims to see if parent education can help protect babies from harmful substances.
BronAges birth–5 days - NCT07335263Recruiting
Swaddling or nesting for pain in newborns
This study tests if gently wrapping (swaddling) or positioning (nesting) your baby helps reduce pain and stress while they are on breathing support. It's for newborns who are breathing fast but otherwise healthy.
Merkez, KütahyaAges birth–4 weeks - NCT07316465Recruiting
Tracking immune markers in newborns at risk for eczema
This study follows newborns for two years to see how their immune system develops, especially if they have a family history of eczema, asthma, or hay fever. Researchers want to learn if certain immune markers appear early in babies who later develop eczema.
Jette, Brussels CapitalAges 1 hour–2 years - NCT07302412Recruiting
Father's touch for newborns at risk of low blood sugar
This study tests if a father's gentle touch (like holding or stroking) can help newborns at risk for low blood sugar stay calm, suck better, and keep stable blood sugar. It aims to see if simple skin-to-skin contact from dad makes a difference in the critical first hours.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 1 hour–6 hours - NCT05708105Recruiting
Testing ultrasound and near-infrared light to predict brain bleeding
This study looks at using two noninvasive tools on very preterm newborns to better predict whether an intraventricular hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain’s fluid spaces) may happen. If successful, it could help doctors spot risk earlier and monitor or treat babies sooner.
