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 study tests whether an AI program (like a smart computer) can read fetal heart rate tracings during labor as well as doctors do. The goal is to see if the AI helps doctors make better decisions during childbirth.
This study looks at how well current methods detect oxygen shortage in newborns during delivery. It may help doctors better identify babies who need extra care right 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.
This study tests a new soft monitor that uses light to check oxygen levels in your baby's belly, without needles or blood draws. It could help doctors keep a gentle watch on your baby's oxygen levels and find problems early.
