New ultrasound for steady brain monitoring in newborns
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Infections, Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial uses a new ultrasound device (NeoDoppler) to watch blood flow in a baby's brain continuously. It aims to see if this gentle, bedside tool can help doctors monitor babies—especially those born early or with certain health concerns—without moving them.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must have a soft spot (open fontanelle) on their head
- Your baby can be healthy and born preterm or full-term
- Or your baby can have a condition like a heart issue, birth stress, infection, or other medical need
- You and your family need to understand Norwegian or English
- You need to give your permission for your baby to join the study

This study measures how well blood flows to the brain in infants with serious heart defects. The results may help doctors understand and protect brain development before and after heart surgery.
This study is testing a new wireless device that monitors oxygen levels in the brain. It is for babies already using a similar wired monitor, to see if the wireless version works just as well.
This study uses a safe ultrasound test (Doppler) to look at blood flow in the brains of newborn babies. It aims to see how blood flow differs between full-term and preterm infants, which could help doctors understand and support brain health in the first days of life.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to measure how well a newborn's heart is working. It aims to compare heart function in healthy babies, premature babies, and babies with certain health conditions to 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 study tests a new sticker-like device that helps doctors constantly check breathing quality in newborns who need respiratory support. The goal is to see if it is safe and works well, which might mean more comfortable monitoring for your baby.
