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 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 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.
This study tests a new, non-invasive technology called electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to monitor how well your brain regulates blood flow in the ICU. Researchers want to see if this device can safely and accurately measure brain function alongside the monitoring you're already receiving.
This study checks how well newborn babies’ brains are getting oxygen and how brain activity changes while they have certain major surgeries. It may help doctors better monitor brain safety during surgery in newborns with specific conditions.
