- NCT06694103Recruiting
Two ways to reduce pain during a baby's eye exam

Measuring hair cortisol to study stress in fathers of babies
This study looks at whether a father’s stress level over time can be estimated by measuring cortisol (a stress hormone) in hair. Results may help researchers better understand how chronic stress affects new families, especially when babies are born early or on time.
Cologne, Northrhine-westfaliaAges 1 day–1 week - NCT06096766Recruiting
Ovarian function and blood markers study
This study looks at how certain blood markers relate to ovarian function in women with normal ovaries, diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), or primary ovarian insufficiency (POI). It may help doctors better understand these conditions.
BeijingAges 18–45 - NCT05319158Recruiting
Movement imitation therapy for very premature baby movement quality
This study tests whether “movement imitation therapy” can improve how a preterm baby moves. It looks at specific movement patterns in babies born very early, aiming to help motor (movement) development.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 5 months–7 months - NCT06726226Recruiting
Extremely preterm infant lung health study
This study follows the breathing and lung health of very early preterm babies (born before 29 weeks) for two years. It helps doctors understand and improve long-term respiratory care for these tiny infants.
SeoulAges Up to 1 week - NCT07552025Recruiting
Sound monitoring to detect breathing problems in very premature babies
This study uses special microphones to listen to and record breathing sounds in extremely premature infants (born before 29 weeks). The goal is to develop a simple, non-invasive way to detect breathing problems early so babies can get help faster.
Montreal, QuebecAges Up to 7 months - NCT07550218Recruiting
Surfactant Delivery Methods for Premature Babies with Breathing Problems
This study looks at different ways doctors give a life-saving medication called surfactant to premature babies who are struggling to breathe. Researchers want to understand which delivery methods work best and help improve care.
GothenburgAges Any age - NCT06753591Recruiting
Premature heart attack registry in Serbia
This trial is creating a registry of young adults (45 and under) who have had a heart attack. It will collect information to help doctors better understand and treat early heart attacks.
BelgradeAges 18–45 - NCT04911452Recruiting
Calmer NICU care for very preterm babies
This study tests a calmer approach in the NICU to help very preterm babies grow and develop their brains. It may be helpful if your baby needs breathing support and is in the early weeks of life.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 6 months–7 months - NCT07517796RecruitingPhase 4
IV Papaverine to Help Induce Labor in Pregnancies with Broken Water
This study tests whether an IV medication called papaverine can help induce labor in pregnant people at term (37+ weeks) whose water has broken but labor hasn't started yet. The goal is to see if this medication makes labor start naturally and reduces the need for cesarean delivery.
Nahariya, IsraelAges 18–45 - NCT07503769Enrolling by invitation
Dual-energy cardiac ablation for ventricular arrhythmia
This study tests a new method using two types of energy to treat a fast heartbeat coming from the lower heart chambers. It is designed for people whose symptoms have not been controlled by medication and who do not have other serious heart conditions.
Ningbo, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07490834Enrolling by invitation
Long-term nutrition after necrotizing enterocolitis in preemies
This study looks at how necrotizing enterocolitis (a serious gut infection) affects the long-term nutrition of premature babies. If your baby was born early and had this condition, participating could help doctors understand its lasting effects.
Nancy, LorraineAges Any age - NCT06788470RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cell therapy for severe lung disease in premature babies
This trial tests whether umbilical cord stem cells can help premature babies with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (a chronic lung disease) who still need a breathing tube after standard hormone treatment. The goal is to see if it is safe and improves their lung condition.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 8 months+ - 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 - NCT07419438Recruiting
Airway device study for preterm babies needing breathing help
This study tests a supraglottic airway device (a tube that sits above the voice box) versus a face mask for helping premature babies breathe right after birth. It may help doctors choose the best way to support your baby's first breaths.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges birth–1 day - NCT06820892Recruiting
Quality of information during prenatal talks
This trial looks at how well doctors share information with parents before birth, especially when a baby is expected to need special care after delivery. It may help improve how future families are supported.
BronAges 18 years+ - NCT07410442Recruiting
Distal shoe safety guidelines for kids
This study looks at how safe and well-tolerated a dental device called a distal shoe is for children who need it. It will help create better care guidelines for kids getting this treatment.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 3–9 - NCT07413900Recruiting
Brain injury study for babies and toddlers
This study looks at biomarkers (biological signs) in infants who had a brain injury around birth or were born very early, and compares them with healthy babies. The goal is to learn more about brain injuries and recovery.
Madison, WisconsinAges 3 months–2 years - NCT07410858Recruiting
Virtual reality education for NICU parents

This study checks how preterm babies are developing when they turn 5 years old. It helps doctors understand any delays or health needs early.
České Budějovice, Czech RepublicAges 5–5 - NCT07396103Recruiting
New approach to reduce breathing pauses in preemies
This study tests a new way to reduce the number of times a preemie baby stops breathing (apnea). It's for babies born early who have apnea but are not on a breathing machine.

Platelet-rich plasma for fertility treatments
This trial tests whether injecting platelet-rich plasma (a concentrate from your own blood) into the uterus or ovaries can help women with certain fertility issues, such as damaged uterine lining, scarring, or low egg reserve. It aims to improve pregnancy chances in these challenging cases.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 257 recruiting premature 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 premature 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 premature 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.
