Better brain monitoring for babies in the ICU
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to monitor the brains of very young children (under 2 years old) in the ICU. It aims to give doctors better information to help protect your child's brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be under 2 years old and in the intensive care unit (ICU).
- The doctor must have ordered special brain monitoring (called neuromonitoring).
- You must give written permission (non-opposition) for your child to take part.
- If your child was born early, their corrected age (how far along they'd be if full-term) must be at least 37 weeks.
- You must understand French and be part of a social security plan (like CMU).

This study uses a special brainwave monitor on newborn babies who may have had a difficult birth or low oxygen levels. The goal is to see if this monitor can help doctors find babies who need extra care.
This study checks how a newborn’s body changes over time in an intensive care unit, using routine monitoring. Your child may benefit by being closely observed, and the results may help improve care for future newborns.
This study uses special monitors to watch brain activity and other vital signs in adults admitted to the neurosurgery intensive care unit (NSICU). The goal is to learn more about how the brain is doing and could help doctors provide better care.
This study looks at whether continuous brain-wave monitoring can guide seizure care in sick children in the pediatric intensive care unit. It also studies how this approach may affect children’s thinking and behavior later.
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 looks at whether early brain-wave testing (EEG) around the time of heart surgery in very young babies can predict later learning and development issues. It may help doctors identify children who need extra support sooner.
