Developmental care for very low birth weight babies
Part of Genetic & congenital, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special care approach, called developmental care, helps very low birth weight babies (under 1500 grams) who need a breathing machine. The goal is to see if this type of care improves their development and health in the NICU.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born weighing less than 1500 grams (about 3.3 pounds)
- Your baby was admitted to a level III NICU within 24 hours after birth
- Your baby has a lung severity score (OI) greater than 30
- Your baby does not have severe birth defects or serious genetic, metabolic, or brain conditions

This trial studies whether giving 30% versus 60% oxygen during early resuscitation (breathing support) affects brain and nerve development in very low birthweight, very preterm infants. If you/your baby fits the birth and care timing requirements, the goal is to find an oxygen approach that supports better long-term outcomes.
This trial tests a “family-centered” approach that aims to keep mothers closely involved with their babies in intensive newborn care, rather than separating them. It may help families by supporting safer, more continuous mother–baby bonding during treatment.
This pilot study tests whether a CCP (comforting, calming, and positioning) intervention can improve the NICU environment and help preterm babies develop better. It is for very premature infants born before 32 weeks or weighing under 3.3 pounds.
This study checks how a type of breathing machine support affects brain health in very premature infants. It may help doctors choose safer breathing support strategies to protect the brain.
This study tests whether a special carrying approach helps small, stable babies in the NICU grow and bond with their caregivers. It is for babies who weigh at least 4 pounds, are expected to stay in the hospital for at least 15 days, and do not need oxygen or breathing support.
This trial tests a video system to help guide development for preterm babies. It may help infants born very early or with very low birth weight who also have brain damage.
