Chest therapy for newborns after brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests if chest physical therapy can improve blood oxygen levels in newborns who have brain injury from low oxygen and also have breathing problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby has a brain injury from low oxygen at birth (hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy)
- Your baby also has a chest or breathing problem related to that brain injury
- Your baby does not have a chest problem from other causes
- Your baby's medical condition is stable
- Your baby has not had surgery that caused breathing problems

This trial tests if citicoline, a brain-protecting supplement, can help newborns with moderate to severe brain injury from lack of oxygen. It is for babies who have not gotten cooling treatment.
This trial tests whether gentle chest physiotherapy can help babies with bronchiolitis (a lung infection) recover better. It looks at how the therapy affects their breathing and overall health.
This study tests whether starting physical therapy early helps babies in the neonatal intensive care unit who have certain brain or health problems. It may improve their development and recovery.
This trial studies outcomes in newborns who had breathing problems from low oxygen before or during birth and were treated with a cooling therapy (therapeutic hypothermia). It may help doctors understand which babies benefit most and what recovery looks like over time.
This early-phase study tests whether using a baby’s own cord blood stem cells is safe and feasible for newborns with brain injury from lack of oxygen around birth. It may help researchers find new ways to treat hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (brain injury due to oxygen deprivation) in addition to standard care like cooling.
This trial is testing a treatment for newborns who had low oxygen around birth, leading to brain injury. It may help babies who did not get certain medicines before birth.
