Scalp stimulation test for baby's oxygen levels during labor
Part of Genetic & congenital, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a simple, non-invasive scalp stimulation on your baby's head during labor to see if it can predict whether your baby is getting enough oxygen, potentially avoiding the need for a more invasive blood test.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with only one baby.
- Your baby is positioned head-down (cephalic).
- You are at least 37 weeks pregnant (full term).
- Your baby's heart rate during labor shows signs that need further testing, like a fetal blood sample (FBS).
- You do not have any conditions that make a scalp blood test risky, such as HIV, hepatitis, or a bleeding disorder.

This study tests a new device that measures oxygen levels in babies during labor. It may help doctors monitor your baby's health more closely if you are in labor and have an epidural.
This trial studies whether giving extra oxygen to the pregnant person during labor helps the baby during “intrauterine resuscitation,” when monitoring suggests the baby needs support. It may help babies recover better while still in the womb, especially during continuous fetal monitoring.
This trial tests whether a special camera (electronic endoscope) can help doctors see the baby more clearly during labor when signs of distress appear. It is for women who have a single baby, are in active labor with broken waters, and whose baby's heart rate is concerning despite standard treatments.
This study looks at whether a computer can read a baby's brain-wave test (EEG) to help doctors predict outcomes after oxygen loss at birth. If it works, it could help guide treatment decisions.
This research study looks at how doctors can better detect when a newborn isn't getting enough oxygen during delivery. It uses heart-rate tracings and blood tests to understand what happens in the first moments after birth.
This study checks how well a baby's heart works during labor and right after birth. It uses a special monitor (CTG with STAN) to see if the baby's heart responds normally to the stress of labor.
