Recruiting studies
- NCT06693817Recruiting
Wireless sensors for newborns in the delivery room
This trial tests advanced wireless sensors to monitor babies born at 35 weeks or later who are stable at delivery. The goal is to see if these sensors can improve care right after birth.

Darıca, KocaeliAges Up to 30 minutes - 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 - NCT07719751Enrolling by invitation
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+ - 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 - 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 - NCT05551312Enrolling by invitation
Mobile training for newborn care skills
This study tests a mobile (phone/tablet) training program for healthcare workers who care for newborn babies. It aims to improve essential newborn care skills, especially in low- and middle-income settings.
LagosAges Any age - 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 - NCT05990179Recruiting
Screening newborns for rare diseases using genetics
This trial offers free genetic screening for rare diseases in newborns. It aims to find health conditions early so babies can get the right care sooner.
New York, New YorkAges 1 day–1 month - 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.
Calgary, AlbertaAges Any age - NCT06200662Recruiting
Maternal Comfort for Pain Relief During Blood Draw in Preemies
This study tests whether a mother's comforting actions (like holding, talking, or breastfeeding) can reduce pain in very premature babies during a blood draw. It may help your baby feel less pain without extra medicine.
Strasbourg, Bas-RhinAges 7 months–8 months - NCT05912517RecruitingPhase 3
Nipocalimab for high-risk pregnancy blood disease
This Phase 3 trial tests nipocalimab (an antibody medicine) to help prevent severe blood breakdown in a baby when a parent has certain blood antibodies. It enrolls people who previously had severe hemolytic disease in a past pregnancy and who are currently early in pregnancy with the same risk antibodies.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18–45 - NCT07264400Recruiting
Pregnancy exercise and baby heart health
This trial looks at how a mother's physical activity during pregnancy might affect her newborn's heart function. It is part of a larger study called PregMouv, and researchers want to see if staying active leads to better heart rate variability in babies.
Clermont-FerrandAges 1 day–3 days - NCT07194070Recruiting
Registry study for hemolytic disease in pregnancy
This study tracks pregnancies affected by hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). It collects information to better understand the condition and improve care. You may join if you are pregnant with a history of a prior affected pregnancy and have a current antibody that could harm your baby.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07212361Recruiting
Restoring infant gut bacteria with mother's microbes
This study tests whether giving healthy newborns a special mix of their own mother's friendly bacteria can help build a healthy gut. It is for mothers who had a healthy pregnancy, plan to breastfeed, and live near Helsinki.
HelsinkiAges Up to 50 years - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT04405700Recruiting
Tracking birth outcomes and birth defects after delivery
This study follows pregnant people and their babies to better measure adverse outcomes and possible congenital (from birth) conditions. It may help improve how birth risks and birth defects are identified and recorded at the clinic.
EldoretAges 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for newborn?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 206 recruiting newborn 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 newborn 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 newborn 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.
