Brain MRI study for babies at risk of cerebral palsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses safe MRI scans during natural sleep to look at how babies' brains develop, especially those at risk for cerebral palsy. It aims to find early signs of movement problems so treatment can start sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be born before 32 weeks or weigh less than 1500 grams at birth, or have a known brain injury or risk factors for cerebral palsy.
- If your baby is 9 months or older, they may not be able to sit up on their own, or they may show uneven hand use or crawling.
- You must agree to share any important health findings from the study with your baby's doctor.
- Your baby cannot have any metal or electronic device (like a pacemaker) inside their body.
- Families need to speak and understand Danish, and be willing to learn about any unexpected findings from the MRI or assessments.

This trial aims to find and support babies who are at risk of cerebral palsy (CP) as early as possible. It checks specific early signs and brain or health risk factors, then helps determine whether early intervention might improve outcomes.
This trial looks at an early intervention for very young babies who show signs they may develop cerebral palsy. The goal is to improve development as early as possible, especially in babies with concerning brain scan findings or movement patterns.
This study looks at early brain scans and other markers to help predict and improve outcomes for newborns with brain injuries that might lead to cerebral palsy. It aims to find better ways to identify these high-risk babies early.
This study looks at whether MRI scans taken when babies are 6 months to 2 years old can help predict if they will develop cerebral palsy. It focuses on infants who had risk factors for brain injury, such as being born very early or with a low birth weight.
This study follows infants who already have cerebral palsy or who seem at high risk to develop it. It looks at early brain and movement signs over time, which may help doctors recognize CP sooner and plan support.
This study looks at early detection and early support for babies who are at higher risk of cerebral palsy and developmental delays. It may help by finding concerns sooner and starting help earlier.
