3D models to help manage babies with diaphragmatic hernia
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study uses 3D animation and physical models to help plan care for pregnancies where the baby has diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). It may help patients and clinicians understand the baby’s condition better and make management decisions more easily.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant and attending the Jessop Wing fetal medicine unit
- Your baby has been diagnosed with CDH, and your care team has referred you for an MRI
- You agree to take part in the study
- You are able to understand and sign consent (including English understanding)
- You are 18 years or older
- You can complete the fetal MRI (no metal implants that block MRI, and you do not have severe claustrophobia)

This is an observational study that follows babies and children with congenital diaphragm hernia (CDH) to learn more about their health and care over time. It may help doctors better understand which factors affect outcomes.
This study uses a special ultrasound (elastography) to look at the diaphragm in children with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and compare it to children without diaphragm problems. The goal is to better understand the diaphragm's health after CDH repair.
This trial tests a procedure called FETO (fetoscopic endoluminal tracheal occlusion) performed during pregnancy to help babies with congenital diaphragmatic hernia—a birth defect where part of the diaphragm (breathing muscle) has a hole and organs from the belly move into the chest. The procedure temporarily blocks the baby's windpipe to help the lungs grow bigger before birth.
This study is for people who have a congenital diaphragmatic hernia (a birth-related opening in the diaphragm) or whose family member has had one. The research aims to learn more about the condition using molecular (cell-level) science, which may help improve understanding and future care.
This trial tests whether placing a tiny balloon in the fetus’s windpipe can help lungs develop and improve severe pulmonary (lung) blood pressure in babies with severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). It may lower the chance of breathing and circulation problems after birth, but it requires a specialized procedure and close follow-up in Houston.
This study looks at a specific way to support a newborn’s breathing right after birth when they have congenital diaphragmatic hernia (a birth condition affecting the diaphragm). If you qualify, the team will compare their resuscitation approach to standard care to see if it helps babies in the delivery room.
