Care for mothers and newborns to reduce separation in NICU
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a “family-centered” approach that aims to keep mothers closely involved with their babies in intensive newborn care, rather than separating them. It may help families by supporting safer, more continuous mother–baby bonding during treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a mother who currently needs medical treatment for a health problem (examples: preeclampsia, significant bleeding, certain mental health conditions, breast milk stopping, or an infection).
- Your baby was born at 28 weeks of pregnancy or later (28+ weeks).
- Your baby currently needs treatment in newborn intensive care (examples: breathing problems needing machine support, jaundice with treatment, infection, or low blood sugar).
- Your baby will need NICU care because of a medical issue (not a healthy baby without treatment needs).
- You are not a very severely ill adult ICU patient (for example, extremely severe preeclampsia with seizures, very heavy bleeding, or severe HELLP syndrome).

This study looks at how involving family members in the care of premature babies in the NICU might improve the baby's quality of life. If you are a parent of a premature baby who has been in the NICU for at least a week, you may be able to join.
This trial studies a better way to provide counseling to families when a baby is expected to be born very early (between about 22 and 25 weeks). It may help you and your partner feel more prepared for the NICU and what to expect next.
This trial tests whether a program that brings parents into the daily care of their preterm or low-birth-weight baby can help the baby recover faster and go home sooner. If you can spend up to 8 hours a day at the hospital, this study may be a good fit.
This study offers a counseling approach to help prevent “Vulnerable Child Syndrome” in babies born very early and cared for in the NICU. It focuses on support during the early months after birth and compares outcomes for families getting the therapy versus usual support.
This study tests a new talk therapy program to help new mothers with depression whose babies are in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). You may join if you gave birth in the last year and have signs of depression, like a diagnosis or certain feelings.
This study tests a new procedure to reduce separation between mother and newborn after a planned C-section. It may help babies with mild breathing problems who need a little extra oxygen stay with their moms instead of going to a separate nursery.
