Custom 3D-printed nasal masks for premature babies on breathing support
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether custom 3D-printed nasal masks work better for premature babies who need non-invasive breathing support. The masks are made to fit each baby's face, which might be more comfortable and effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born premature
- Your baby is less than 30 days old
- Your baby needs non-invasive breathing support (like a mask that helps them breathe without a tube)
- Your baby has been on this breathing support for 3 days or less
- You are willing to sign a consent form for your baby to join the trial

This study compares two types of breathing support (nasal CPAP and NIPPV) for very low birth weight preterm infants to see which one works better. The goal is to find the best way to help these babies breathe more easily.
This study tests whether delivering breathing support through a soft face mask (nasal non-invasive ventilation) can help premature babies who are having trouble breathing. Doctors will also use ultrasound to monitor their lungs.
This study looks at whether different types of breathing masks (non-invasive ventilation interfaces) can help prevent sores or injuries on a premature baby's nose. It may help find gentler ways to support breathing while protecting delicate skin.
This study looks at a new way to help very premature babies who need breathing support right after birth. The goal is to find a gentler method that may reduce lung damage and improve breathing outcomes.
This study compares two ways to give breathing support to premature babies: a nasal cannula (small tube with two prongs) versus a single nasal prong. The goal is to see which method works better and is more comfortable for babies who need help breathing.
This trial tests different ways to help very preterm babies when they are first taken off a breathing machine and switched to CPAP. It aims to find the safest and most effective breathing support to help them breathe on their own.
