Cooling treatment study for babies with mild brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares different approaches to “cooling” treatment in newborns with mild hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (mild brain injury from not enough oxygen around birth). The goal is to see which approach works best and is safest for babies like yours.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Baby was born at 36 weeks or later
- Within 6 hours after birth, the baby has mild brain injury on a neurologic exam
- There are signs around birth of an oxygen-acidosis problem (from blood gas results or a serious birth event)
- Baby weighs at least 1,800 grams at birth and has head size of 30 cm or more
- No seizures in the first 6 hours, and you are not considering switching to comfort-only care

This Phase 3 study tests whether cooling a newborn’s body can help babies with mild brain injury after a difficult birth. It aims to see if cooling improves brain-related outcomes compared with standard care.
This trial studies whether cooling a newborn's body after a difficult birth helps prevent brain damage. Researchers will track babies treated with this cooling therapy and use brain imaging to see how well it works.
This trial studies outcomes in newborns who had breathing problems from low oxygen before or during birth and were treated with a cooling therapy (therapeutic hypothermia). It may help doctors understand which babies benefit most and what recovery looks like over time.
This study looks at how children who received cooling treatment for brain injury at birth are doing in the long run. It aims to understand the lasting effects of this treatment, which might help doctors improve care for future babies.
This early study tests whether giving melatonin to newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (brain injury from not enough oxygen around birth) can help protect the brain while they are cooled (therapeutic hypothermia). It may be most relevant if your baby shows early brain-injury signs and meets specific blood test and birth-history timing criteria.
This study tests whether adding a medication called sildenafil (commonly used for blood pressure) to standard cooling treatment can improve brain recovery in newborn babies with brain injury from lack of oxygen. It aims to see if the combination is safe and effective in helping these babies develop better.
