Follow-up study of babies with brain injury treated by cooling
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at the long-term health and development of babies who had a specific brain injury at birth and were treated with whole-body cooling. It may help doctors understand what outcomes to expect years later and how to best support families.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were born between 2014 and 2018.
- As a newborn, you received whole-body cooling for a moderate or severe brain injury after birth.
- Cooling started within the first 6 hours of life and continued for about 72 hours, with slow rewarming afterward.
- You can take part in MRI scans (for example, no metal implants in your body and you can tolerate being in the scanner).
- You do not have a history of congenital (inborn) infection.
- You do not have a known genetic or metabolic disorder, and you do not have a major brain malformation.

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 study tests a new way to constantly monitor body temperature in newborns who are receiving cooling treatment, which is often used to protect the brain after birth complications. The goal is to see if this monitoring is safe and effective.
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 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.
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.
