Breast milk nose drops for brain injury in newborns
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving fresh breast milk as nose drops can help newborns with brain injury from lack of oxygen. It aims to see if this simple treatment can improve brain recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Newborn must have moderate or severe brain injury due to lack of oxygen at birth

- Baby must be at least 35 weeks into pregnancy and less than 48 hours old
- Cooling treatment must last for 72 hours
- Parent or guardian must give permission

This trial tests whether giving fresh breast milk through the nose is safe and possible for newborns with HIE (a brain injury from oxygen loss at birth) who are already receiving cooling therapy. It may help protect the brain and reduce injury.
This Phase 3 study tests whether cooling a newborn’s body can help babies with mild brain injury after a difficult birth. It aims to see if cooling improves brain-related outcomes compared with standard care.
This trial tests giving stem cells through the nose to newborn babies who have brain injury from lack of oxygen or blood flow during birth. The goal is to reduce the risk of developing cerebral palsy.
This trial tests whether a liquid form of the medicine sildenafil can help repair brain damage in newborns who had a difficult birth and were treated with cooling. If your baby meets the cooling criteria and has brain injury on an MRI, this study may offer an additional treatment option.
This study tests whether giving a medicine called erythropoietin to newborns who had a brain injury due to lack of oxygen can help them recover. It is for babies less than one month old who have this specific condition.
This study tests a special, non-invasive sensor (near-infrared light) to help doctors choose the best cooling treatment for some newborns after brain injury. It may improve how well cooling works and how safely it’s managed in the first week of life.
