Testing a new tool to manage jaundice in newborns
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial uses a special breath test (ETCOc) to measure jaundice in newborns, aiming to improve diagnosis and treatment. It may help doctors decide when treatment is needed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

- Your baby weighs at least 5.5 pounds (2500 grams) at birth
- Your baby has severe jaundice, with bilirubin levels above a certain high number
- Your baby does not have a known genetic or metabolic disease

This study is looking at a new scoring system to help doctors quickly tell how severe jaundice is in newborns. The goal is to better decide when a baby needs stronger treatment like a blood exchange, so the right care can be given sooner.
This study tests a device that measures jaundice level through the skin without needing a blood test. It is for newborns who need light therapy.
This study looks at how hospitals decide when to start treatment for jaundice (a yellowing of the skin) in very premature babies. The aim is to find the safest and most effective way to use bilirubin levels to guide care and improve outcomes for your baby.
This trial tests different ways to give light therapy to newborns with jaundice. It compares different approaches to see which is best, and may help parents understand the most effective treatment for their baby.
This study tests whether gentle foot reflexology and massage can help newborns with jaundice (high bilirubin levels in the blood) recover faster during light therapy treatment. Jaundice is common in newborns and is usually treated with special lights; this trial explores whether touch therapy might improve outcomes.
