Ultrasound to see blood flow in babies getting cooling therapy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study uses a special ultrasound with a contrast dye to look at blood flow in the brain and kidneys of newborns with birth asphyxia (lack of oxygen) during cooling treatment. It helps doctors understand how cooling affects these organs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be eligible for standard cooling treatment (hypothermia) for birth asphyxia.
- Your baby must have had severe acidosis (very low pH or high base deficit) in a blood test right after birth.
- Your baby must have moderate to severe signs of brain irritation (encephalopathy) after birth.
- Your baby must be 6 hours old or younger when the study starts.
- Your baby must be born at 36 weeks of pregnancy or later.
- You (the parent) must give permission for your baby to join the study.

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 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 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 study tests a new way to continuously monitor the body temperature of newborns who are receiving cooling therapy (to protect the brain after birth complications). If your baby is eligible, continuous monitoring may help doctors better manage the cooling treatment and improve care.
This Phase 3 study tests whether detailed ultrasound scans (with contrast and stiffness measurements) can help doctors assess a baby’s brain. It may help by improving how early brain changes are detected in newborn care settings.
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.
