Feeding during cooling for brain injury in newborns
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at whether it is safe to give small amounts of milk to babies who are being cooled for brain injury after a difficult birth. It may help doctors decide if feeding during cooling can improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be born at 35 weeks or later (full term is about 40 weeks).
- Your baby must be less than 6 hours old to join the study.
- Your baby must have had a difficult birth, shown by low blood pH, low Apgar score, or needing help breathing for 10 minutes or more.
- Your baby must have moderate to severe brain injury (called encephalopathy) as determined by a doctor.
- Your baby must not have very serious birth defects, certain genetic disorders, or a very low birth weight (under 4 pounds).

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 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 study looks at how children who received cooling treatment for brain injury at birth are doing in the long run. It aims to understand the lasting effects of this treatment, which might help doctors improve care for future babies.
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.
This trial tests whether giving fresh breast milk through the nose is safe and possible for newborns with HIE (a brain injury from oxygen loss at birth) who are already receiving cooling therapy. It may help protect the brain and reduce injury.
