Developmental care for very low birth weight babies
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 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 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.
This study looks at how involving family members in the care of premature babies in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) might improve the baby's quality of life. If your baby was born early and spent time in the NICU, this study could help us understand how family involvement affects outcomes.
This study tests a calmer approach in the NICU to help very preterm babies grow and develop their brains. It may be helpful if your baby needs breathing support and is in the early weeks of life.
This trial looks at babies who needed immediate breathing help at birth. It studies how doctors and nurses provide that care in the delivery room to improve outcomes for newborns.
