Study for newborns with brain or nervous system problems
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study enrolls newborns (within the first 28 days of life) who have specific brain or nervous system conditions. It tests how these conditions are tracked and studied, which may help improve care and understanding over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is 28 days old or younger (after birth).
- A parent or legal guardian can provide written consent.
- Your baby has one of these conditions, such as brain injury from lack of oxygen, bleeding in the brain, hydrocephalus, meningitis/brain infection, or a brain/vessel birth abnormality.
- The study team can collect the needed blood/tissue samples in enough quantity.
- There are no other major birth defects that the study considers unrelated to neurologic disease.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks for genes that may cause or increase the risk of brain injury in newborns. It may help researchers understand why some babies develop encephalopathy and could lead to better treatments in the future.
This study uses a special brainwave monitor on newborn babies who may have had a difficult birth or low oxygen levels. The goal is to see if this monitor can help doctors find babies who need extra care.
This study looks at eye and vision outcomes in babies who have had lack of oxygen around birth (HIE) and also compares them with healthy “well babies.” It may help doctors better understand how HIE affects the eyes and what to watch for over time.
This trial is for newborn babies who had an oxygen shortage around birth and now have severe brain injury. It aims to test approaches that may help improve outcomes after this kind of early-life brain damage.
This study looks at a blood test that might help check brain injury in newborns who had a lack of oxygen at birth. The test could give doctors more information to help care for your baby.
This study uses EEG (a test that records brain activity) to help doctors quickly identify brain injury in newborns who had a difficult birth. If successful, it could lead to earlier treatment and better outcomes.
