Study brain activity in babies right after birth
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study measures a newborn’s brain activity immediately after delivery. It may help doctors better understand early brain function in healthy full-term babies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Baby was born at full term, between 36 and 41 weeks of pregnancy
- Baby is not a premature newborn
- Baby is not part of a twin pregnancy
- No suspected birth defects seen on prenatal (before birth) ultrasound
- Baby does not need special pediatric care starting from birth
- Mother does not have certain chronic viral infections (like HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C) and baby is not linked to multidrug-resistant bacteria

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 tests a special, non-invasive sensor (near-infrared light) to help doctors choose the best cooling treatment for some newborns after brain injury. It may improve how well cooling works and how safely it’s managed in the first week of life.
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 measures how well blood flows to the brain in infants with serious heart defects. The results may help doctors understand and protect brain development before and after heart surgery.
This study looks at very early signs in newborns that may show if they had a lack of oxygen around birth (called perinatal asphyxia). It tests whether certain blood markers can help doctors detect and treat this condition sooner.
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.
