Studying how pregnancy inflammation affects baby brain development
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks for biological markers in the mother's blood that might predict how exposure to inflammation during pregnancy could change a baby's brain development. The goal is to understand these effects in healthy pregnancies and those with certain inflammatory conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be between 18 and 40 years old.
- Have a body mass index (BMI) between 18 and 25.
- Have no history of chronic conditions like rheumatic, immune, or hormone disorders.
- Have no past pregnancy complications (like pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, or preterm birth).
- Have normal results from your combined screening test in the current pregnancy.
- Not have pre-gestational diabetes, be pregnant with more than one baby, or have certain pregnancy complications (like preterm labor, pre-eclampsia, or fetal growth problems).

This study looks at how a mother's health and experiences during pregnancy may affect her baby's brain growth and early development. You and your baby would have special MRI brain scans, fill out some questionnaires, and then your child's development would be followed until they are 6 years old.
This study looks at how stress shows up in the body during early pregnancy and whether it’s linked to preterm birth (birth before 37 weeks). You may be asked about your stress and health to help researchers understand who is at higher risk.
This study looks at how plastics and toxins in the environment might affect inflammation in the gut, especially in pregnant women with Crohn's disease and their families. It will help doctors understand if these chemicals play a role in bowel inflammation during pregnancy.
This study looks at whether gum inflammation during pregnancy is linked to pregnancy outcomes by checking saliva and amniotic fluid for certain markers. It may help understand how oral health affects pregnancy.
This study looks at tiny living organisms in pregnancy (and related body samples) to find better ways to screen for preeclampsia. By learning early warning signs, it may help doctors identify risk sooner during routine prenatal care.
This study looks at how different pregnancy and birth factors may contribute to airway inflammation in infants who wheeze or have lung conditions. It may help researchers understand why some babies get ongoing breathing problems and how early influences could be linked.
