Karachi, SindhAges 15–49 - NCT06577922Recruiting
Maternal and newborn health simulation lab study in Nepal
This trial checks whether simulation training for hospital staff improves care for mothers and newborns. If you recently delivered vaginally at a study hospital or work there, you may be able to join.
Kathmandu, BagmatiAges Any age - NCT06957769Recruiting
How rising temperatures affect mothers and babies
This study looks at how higher temperatures during pregnancy might affect your health and your baby's health. By joining, you'll help researchers understand how climate change may impact pregnancy outcomes.
Matiari, SindhAges 18 years+ - NCT01073475Recruiting
Pregnancy and birth registry for community health research
This trial is a long-term registry that collects pregnancy and birth information in a community to help researchers study maternal and newborn health. It may help you and others by improving understanding of care and outcomes across many pregnancies.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT07134387Recruiting
Long-term effects of BPD on family quality of life
This study looks at how bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a lung condition in premature babies, affects the long-term health and quality of life of children and their families. Parents or caregivers of children born early with or without BPD can join to compare experiences.
München, BavariaAges birth–18 years - 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 - NCT06092463Recruiting
Immune system study in newborn intestines
This study looks at how the immune system develops in the intestines of newborns, including those born early or with a blocked intestine (atresia). It may help doctors understand inflammation and improve care for sick babies.
CopenhagenAges Up to 1 year - 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 - NCT06007547RecruitingPhase 4
Preventive surfactant therapy for preterm babies
This trial tests whether giving surfactant (a foam that helps lungs stay open) before breathing problems start can help very premature babies (born before 30 weeks) breathe better. It might reduce the need for a breathing tube.
Evanston, IllinoisAges Up to 15 minutes - NCT06026163RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Caffeine for breathing help in late preterm babies
This trial tests if giving caffeine to late preterm babies with breathing problems helps them need less breathing support. It could be an extra treatment alongside standard care.
Madinah, Medina RegionAges 1 day–3 days - NCT07261254Recruiting

Houston, TexasAges 18–45 - NCT03993158Recruiting
Study of newborns conceived through fertility treatment
This study looks at newborns who were conceived through assisted reproductive technology (fertility treatment) and delivered at the study center. It likely aims to better understand outcomes or health information for these babies.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges birth–40 years - NCT07216053Recruiting
Lung ultrasound to predict breathing problems in late preterm babies
This study uses lung ultrasound to see if it can predict which late preterm babies (born 34–36 weeks) might have trouble breathing after birth. The goal is to find these babies early so they can get the right care sooner.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 8 months–8 months - NCT03298334RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing vaginal bacteria transfer to newborns after C-section
This study looks at whether they can safely place “healthy vaginal bacteria” from the mother into the newborn after a scheduled C-section, and whether it improves the baby’s health. It only enrolls certain mothers and babies based on infection testing and other health factors.
Falls Church, VirginiaAges birth–50 years - NCT07442669Recruiting
Lung ultrasound for surfactant decision in premature babies
This trial uses a lung ultrasound score, a type of ultrasound, to decide when to give surfactant (a medicine that helps lungs work) to premature babies born between 27 and 35 weeks of pregnancy. It aims to reduce the need for more breathing support and avoid side effects.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 6 months–8 months - NCT07189390RecruitingPhase 2
