Abdominal binder study for premature babies on breathing support
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether a soft abdominal binder can help premature babies who need breathing support breathe more comfortably and may reduce the time they need the support. It is for babies born very early who are expected to need CPAP for at least two weeks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born very prematurely, between 22 and 31 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby is expected to need breathing support (called CPAP) for at least two weeks.
- Your baby does not have any known genetic, neuromuscular, or abdominal conditions.
- Your baby does not have any tubes in the umbilical cord.
- Your baby's skin on the belly is healthy and not broken or damaged.
- Your baby's doctors believe your baby can survive with standard hospital care.

This study tests whether delivering breathing support through a soft face mask (nasal non-invasive ventilation) can help premature babies who are having trouble breathing. Doctors will also use ultrasound to monitor their lungs.
This study tests whether a soft abdominal binder (a wrap around the belly) helps preterm babies on breathing support keep their milk feeds going without interruptions. It might help reduce pauses in feeding and support growth.
This study looks at a new way to help very premature babies who need breathing support right after birth. The goal is to find a gentler method that may reduce lung damage and improve breathing outcomes.
This trial tests different ways to help very preterm babies when they are first taken off a breathing machine and switched to CPAP. It aims to find the safest and most effective breathing support to help them breathe on their own.
This trial tests a new non-invasive breathing support that adjusts to each baby's own breathing pattern. It aims to help very premature infants breathe more comfortably and avoid more invasive ventilation.
This study looks at premature babies born before 32 weeks who weigh less than 1,500 grams and need breathing support in their first hours of life. The goal is to understand how well non-invasive breathing support works for them.
