Virtual and lived-experience support for newborns with brain challenges
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a program that combines virtual support and a peer who has been through it can help parents of newborns with certain brain conditions. It is designed for families living in rural areas and aims to improve children's recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must have had a lack of oxygen around birth (HIE) at full term, or be born very early (before 28 weeks of pregnancy).
- You must be able to speak and understand English to provide consent and fill out surveys.
- Your baby cannot have any major genetic conditions (like Down syndrome) or birth defects.
- Your baby must have normal vision (or vision good enough to see clearly).
- Both you and your baby will take part in the study together.

This study looks at biomarkers (biological signs) in infants who had a brain injury around birth or were born very early, and compares them with healthy babies. The goal is to learn more about brain injuries and recovery.
This trial tests an early virtual (video/online) intervention to support infants with cerebral palsy symptoms after a specific type of birth brain injury. It may help babies and families by starting therapy-like support early from home and tracking progress over time.
This study looks for genes that may cause or increase the risk of brain injury in newborns. It may help researchers understand why some babies develop encephalopathy and could lead to better treatments in the future.
This study looks at whether the IBAIP program can improve neurodevelopment (how the brain grows and works) in babies born very early. Babies are included only if they have a normal early neurological exam after being “corrected for prematurity.”
This study looks at how high-risk infants (especially those born early or with brain concerns) develop their thinking and movement skills over time, comparing them to healthy babies. The goal is to better understand and support their development.
This trial tests a gene therapy given as a nose spray for people with cerebral palsy or HIE. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and helps improve movement over two years.
