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 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 looks at a special blood marker in full-term newborns who had brain injury from lack of oxygen during birth. It aims to help doctors better understand and treat this condition.
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 uses MRI to measure oxygen in the brains of children (birth to 7 years) who need anesthesia for a routine scan. It aims to learn more about brain blood flow in different conditions.
This trial studies how a baby’s brain uses oxygen during an MRI, using specific anesthesia medicines. It may help researchers better understand how anesthesia affects brain oxygen measurements in very young children.
This study uses an MRI scan to measure how your brain uses oxygen. It includes healthy participants and people with sickle cell disease or who previously needed ECMO, which may help researchers understand brain oxygen problems and how to monitor them.
