Recruiting studies
- NCT05702203Recruiting
Music therapy for newborns with congenital heart disease
This trial tests whether creative music therapy can help newborn babies who have congenital heart disease (CHD) while they are in intensive care. It focuses on babies who are otherwise very young and in the NICU or PICU, regardless of CHD severity.
ZurichAges 1 minute–4 weeks - NCT05767476Recruiting
Testing cooling treatment after lack of oxygen at birth

RomeAges 10 minutes–6 hours - NCT06023056Recruiting
Hepatitis B vaccine after newborn surgery
This trial tests whether giving the hepatitis B vaccine to full-term newborns who had multiple stomach or intestine surgeries is safe and works well. It aims to protect these babies from hepatitis B infection.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT05604846Recruiting
Probiotic drops for very preterm babies in Scandinavia
This trial studies whether giving probiotic supplements to extremely preterm newborns helps improve health outcomes. It’s meant for babies born very early, and the results could help guide safer early nutrition and care.
Solna, Stockholm CountyAges 5 months–6 months - NCT01873131Recruiting
Laser or timolol gel for fast-growing birthmark in infants
This study compares three approaches—pulsed-dye laser, timolol (a medicated skin solution), or watch-and-wait—to see which works best to slow the growth of a hemangioma birthmark in young babies. It may help find a treatment that shrinks or controls the birthmark as early as possible.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Up to 3 months - NCT02270476Recruiting
Study of how cystic fibrosis lung disease changes over time
This observational study follows children newly diagnosed with cystic fibrosis to understand how their lung disease develops. It may help doctors better predict disease course and choose the right timing for care.
Heidelberg, Baden-WurttembergAges Any age - NCT03217578Recruiting
Newborn screening for spinal muscular atrophy in Taiwan
This trial offers testing for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) to newborns. It aims to identify SMA early so families and doctors can act sooner if results suggest the condition.
Kaohsiung CityAges birth–2 weeks - NCT06306521Recruiting
Newborn screening for hundreds of genetic diseases by genome sequencing
This research study tests a new way to screen newborns for hundreds of genetic diseases using a sample of their blood or saliva. It aims to find conditions early so your baby can get the right care sooner.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 1 day–4 weeks - NCT06281093Recruiting
Radio waves and preemies' brain development
This trial checks if radiofrequency fields (like from phones or WiFi) affect the nervous system of preterm babies born between 26 and 34 weeks of pregnancy. It helps us understand if we need to protect these babies from such fields.
Amiens, PicardieAges 1 day–1 month - NCT05979532Recruiting
Milk Study for Breastfeeding Moms and Newborns
This study looks at the natural content of breast milk from mothers who breastfeed their newborns for at least 6 months. By donating small extra milk samples, you help researchers understand what makes milk so good for babies.
UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT05395195RecruitingPhase 3
Erythropoietin for newborn brain injury in low-resource settings
This Phase 3 trial studies whether erythropoietin (a medicine related to red-blood-cell growth) can improve outcomes for newborns with moderate to severe brain injury after birth. The study focuses on babies born in low- and middle-income countries and aims to reduce harm from this early brain condition.
DhakaAges 1 hour–6 hours - NCT05952583Recruiting
Study of growth-restricted twin babies in shared placenta
This study looks at babies in monochorionic (shared-placenta) twin pregnancies where one or both babies are growing too slowly. It aims to better understand this condition and follow families over time to improve care, with check-ins through age 2 after birth.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–50 - NCT06368154Recruiting
Studying early markers for brittle bones in newborns
This trial looks for tiny particles in the blood that might help doctors detect bone weakness in premature babies. It aims to find early signs of metabolic bone disease, which could lead to better care.
Changsha, HunanAges birth–3 days - NCT06394453Recruiting
Feeding during cooling for brain injury in newborns
This study looks at whether it is safe to give small amounts of milk to babies who are being cooled for brain injury after a difficult birth. It may help doctors decide if feeding during cooling can improve outcomes.
CracowAges Up to 6 hours - NCT06395298Recruiting
Mouth care therapy for premature babies' feeding
This study tests a gentle mouth care routine called PIOMI to help very premature babies (born at 29–30 weeks) learn to feed by mouth. It’s for babies who need a feeding tube but are otherwise stable.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges 7 months–7 months - NCT07850934Recruiting
Melatonin for high blood pressure in the lungs of newborns
This trial tests whether giving melatonin to full-term newborns with high blood pressure in their lungs (pulmonary hypertension) can help improve their breathing and oxygen levels. It may offer a new treatment option for babies with this condition.
Cairo, AbbassiaAges Any age - NCT07837180Recruiting
Music for sleep and comfort in NICU newborns
This study tests if playing two types of music—TUMATA and Mozart—can help babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) sleep better and feel more comfortable. If your baby is a full-term newborn in the NICU and breathing on their own, this music therapy might help them rest.
KaramanAges birth–4 weeks - NCT07819734Recruiting
Pacifier-activated lullaby for preterm infant oral feeding
This study tests whether a special pacifier that plays a lullaby when a baby sucks can help preterm infants learn to feed by mouth sooner. It may improve their oral feeding skills and support their transition from tube feedings.
Orlando, FloridaAges 8 months–8 months - NCT06563687Recruiting
Continuous glucose monitoring for HIE newborns
This study tests a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) in newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) — a type of brain injury from lack of oxygen around birth. The CGM tracks sugar levels to help doctors manage care better.
AvellinoAges Up to 6 hours - NCT07774793Recruiting
Relaxation for newborn growth and maternal well-being
This study tests whether teaching mothers relaxation techniques can help their low-birth-weight babies grow better and improve how mothers feel overall.
KampalaAges birth+ - NCT06057415Recruiting
Gut nerve stimulation study for high-risk newborns
This study tests whether stimulating the nerves in the gut can help improve digestion in high-risk newborns, specifically those born very early or with a diaphragmatic hernia. It takes place at Amalia Children's Hospital and aims to find a way to help these babies' intestines work better.
NijmegenAges Up to 2 days - NCT06056635Recruiting
