EEG and near-infrared testing in newborns
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study checks how newborn brains respond by using painless sensors on the head. It focuses on babies during their first month after birth, to help researchers understand early brain function and development.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born either full-term or preterm
- Your baby is within the first month (about 30 days) after birth
- Your delivery was not instrumental (no vacuum or forceps)
- Your baby does not have a major medical condition related to this study (no relevant “pathology associated” conditions)

This study looks at whether a computer can read a baby's brain-wave test (EEG) to help doctors predict outcomes after oxygen loss at birth. If it works, it could help guide treatment decisions.
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 measures a newborn’s brain activity immediately after delivery. It may help doctors better understand early brain function in healthy full-term babies.
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 looks at how newborns’ brains develop and how they respond to an intervention. It helps researchers understand brain organization in individual babies so care can improve in the future.
This study looks at using two noninvasive tools on very preterm newborns to better predict whether an intraventricular hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain’s fluid spaces) may happen. If successful, it could help doctors spot risk earlier and monitor or treat babies sooner.
