Plastic chemical exposure in newborns and development
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how chemicals from medical plastic devices used in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) might affect a baby's development. It follows babies who were already part of an earlier study to see if these chemicals, called plasticizers, could influence growth and brain development. This research may help understand and reduce any potential risks from routine medical care in newborns.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your baby was part of the ARMED NEO study at the Clermont-Ferrand or Lille hospitals.

This study tests whether teaching parents about endocrine disruptors (chemicals that can affect hormones) can reduce the levels of these chemicals in newborns' urine. It aims to see if parent education can help protect babies from harmful substances.
This study looks at how common chemicals in our environment (like those from plastics or pollution) may affect babies' sleep. It's for very young infants who are still drinking only milk, to help understand any links between these chemicals and sleep patterns.
This study looks at how tiny plastic particles in breast milk might affect a baby's growth and development. You may be able to join if you are a new mom who is exclusively breastfeeding without any formula.
This study looks at whether tiny plastic particles (microplastics) in the breathing tube used for premature babies on a ventilator might be linked to a lung condition called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). It aims to help understand if these particles could increase the risk of lung problems in these vulnerable infants.
This study looks at how children with complex congenital heart defects develop, especially their brain and learning skills. It will help doctors provide better support for these children.
This study checks if cadmium, a metal found in some foods and smoke, might affect the growth of your baby during pregnancy. It is an observational study, so no treatments or procedures are added to your normal care.
