Breathing monitor study for children with sleep or breathing issues
This study looks at how well a new breathing monitor works for children with sleep problems, breathing pauses in newborns, or epilepsy. It may help doctors better understand breathing patterns without extra needles or blood tests.
Glasgow, Glasgow CityAges 1 minute–16 years - NCT06332521Recruiting
Baby crying sounds as early brain development clues
This study records cries from full-term and premature newborns to see if crying patterns can predict brain development. It may lead to earlier detection of developmental issues.
Saint-EtienneAges Up to 4 days - NCT06335524Recruiting
