Maternal health during pregnancy and autism risk in first-time mothers
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at blood samples and other health information collected during pregnancy to see if certain factors are linked to autism in children. It may help us understand what causes autism and how to support families.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a first-time mother who took part in the nuMoM2b study.
- You have a child from that pregnancy.
- You had biological samples (like blood) collected during your pregnancy.

This trial is looking at the connection between the gut and autism. It tests whether certain gut bacteria and the gut's protective barrier are different in children with autism and gastrointestinal issues. This could help find new ways to improve symptoms.
This is an early-stage study exploring a new experimental treatment for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Researchers will work with your child and family to test whether this approach is safe and how it might help with autism symptoms.
This study tests whether a simple, gentle massage routine can help toddlers with autism. It looks at how the massage might affect brain activity and parent-child interaction.
This study looks at genetics and other factors that may be linked to autism. Pregnant women in their first or second trimester are invited to join, and their babies will be followed to see how they develop.
This study follows pregnant parents and their child to understand what factors influence early brain and development. It compares families with an autistic sibling (higher risk) to families without (lower risk) to spot patterns that may help future care.
This study looks at blood samples from children (and sometimes parents) to see if certain protein patterns can help identify or better understand autism spectrum disorder. The results could support finding “biomarkers,” which are measurable signs that may guide future research or care.
