Study brain “habituation” in preterm and full-term babies
Part of Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how babies’ brains get used to repeated sights or sounds (habituation) in both preterm and full-term infants. It may help researchers understand early brain development differences and improve care for newborns.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born early between 25 weeks and 32 weeks + 6 days, or at full term between 39 and 41 weeks
- For preterm babies: the study happens around near 36 weeks corrected age
- For full-term babies: by day 3 of life, your baby’s heart/well-being score (Apgar at 1 minute) is at least 1
- Your baby has a normal neurologic (brain/nervous system) exam
- A parent/guardian can give written consent for the study
- Your baby has no major birth problems, chromosome differences, or severe neurologic conditions

This study uses a safe, non-invasive ultrasound technique to measure brain activity in newborn babies. It aims to understand brain development and connectivity in preterm infants, infants with birth-related oxygen deprivation, growth-restricted babies, siblings of children with autism, and healthy full-term babies.
This study looks at whether the IBAIP program can improve neurodevelopment (how the brain grows and works) in babies born very early. Babies are included only if they have a normal early neurological exam after being “corrected for prematurity.”
This study tests a calming approach for very premature babies in the NICU to see if it helps their brain development. If your baby is very preterm and stable, this might be an option to support their early growth.
This study looks at how gut bacteria and sleep patterns affect early childhood development. It tests a probiotic (a healthy bacteria supplement) in premature and full-term babies to see if it improves their development and behavior.
This study compares two early treatments for premature babies to see which one works better over time. It also includes full-term babies as a comparison group, to help families understand the best ways to support their baby's development.
This trial compares different therapy approaches for premature babies. It aims to help with their development using the ICF biopsychosocial model, which looks at health from many angles.
