Early virtual coaching for babies with brain injury from lack of oxygen
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests an early virtual coaching program for babies who had a brain injury from lack of oxygen at birth (hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy). The program helps parents support their baby's development at home, which could improve movement and learning outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must have been diagnosed with moderate or severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (a type of brain injury from lack of oxygen around birth)
- Your baby must have received therapeutic hypothermia (cooling treatment) after birth
- Your baby must have had an abnormal brain MRI in the first week of life
- Your baby must be at least 34 weeks gestation (born at 34 weeks or later)
- Your baby must be followed by the Neonatal Follow-Up Clinic at SickKids hospital
- Your baby must have abnormal fidgety movements at 12 weeks of age (as part of a standard assessment)

This study tests whether a program that combines virtual support and a peer who has been through it can help parents of newborns with certain brain conditions. It is designed for families living in rural areas and aims to improve children's recovery.
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.
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 Phase 2 study tests whether sovateltide can improve safety and outcomes for babies whose brains may have been injured by low oxygen around birth. It focuses on babies who show signs of moderate to severe injury soon after delivery, and who receive standard supportive care.
This trial tests an intensive therapy program designed to help children with brain-based conditions like cerebral palsy or autism improve their skills in movement, thinking, and daily activities. The program runs for 2 weeks with daily sessions, and researchers will check for changes in your child's abilities.
This study checks how a type of breathing machine support affects brain health in very premature infants. It may help doctors choose safer breathing support strategies to protect the brain.
