Testing a new light device for newborn jaundice
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests a new phototherapy (special light treatment) device to treat newborn jaundice. It may help by seeing whether this device can treat jaundice safely and effectively.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born after 35 weeks of pregnancy
- Your baby has jaundice confirmed by a bilirubin test (a skin or blood measurement)
- Your baby’s jaundice level is high enough to need light treatment (phototherapy), based on standard guidelines
- Your baby weighs at least 2.5 kg
- Your baby has no serious signs at birth that make them too unwell (for example, breathing problems or other major complications)
- Your baby has no certain blood-type problems (rhesus or Kell incompatibility)

This study checks if a light-based device can measure bilirubin levels accurately without a blood test, by comparing it with the standard blood test. It looks at newborns of different skin colours to make sure the device works for everyone.
This trial tests a special hat-like glasses to protect babies' eyes during phototherapy (light treatment for jaundice). It is for healthy full-term newborns who are in a regular hospital room.
This study tests whether having families use a skin color chart at home helps spot jaundice early and supports better breastfeeding. If your newborn is healthy and full-term, you may be able to join and get extra guidance.
This trial tests different ways to give light therapy to newborns with jaundice. It compares different approaches to see which is best, and may help parents understand the most effective treatment for their baby.
This study tests a device that measures jaundice level through the skin without needing a blood test. It is for newborns who need light therapy.
This study looks at whether adding a medicine (fenofibrate or phenobarbitone) to standard light therapy (phototherapy) can help lower bilirubin faster in newborns with jaundice. It compares the two medicines to see which one works better.
