Brain oxygen study for children having an MRI
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at oxygen levels in the brains of children and young adults (birth to 18 years) during a standard MRI. The goal is to learn more about how the brain works, and it only adds a few minutes to your child's regular MRI scan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child needs to be able to have an MRI (no metal implants or devices like pacemakers).
- Your child is already scheduled for a brain MRI that is medically needed.
- Your child is between birth and 18 years old.
- Your child is not born before 25 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your child must be stable enough to stay in the MRI for an extra 7.5 minutes.

This study looks at a blood test that might help check brain injury in newborns who had a lack of oxygen at birth. The test could give doctors more information to help care for your baby.
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 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 study looks at how well the brain uses oxygen during MRI with anesthesia. It tests two different anesthesia medicines to find the best way to keep children safe and comfortable during scans.
This study tests whether a small, portable MRI scanner can safely take pictures of the brain in seriously ill children who may have brain injury from lack of oxygen. It could help doctors diagnose and treat these children faster, without moving them from the ICU.
This study uses MRI to look at blood flow in the brains of children who are already getting an MRI. It may help doctors understand how anesthesia affects brain blood flow, which could improve care for children in the future.
