Brain Injury & Vision Screening in Newborns
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks for early signs of vision problems in babies who had brain injuries around the time of birth. It aims to help doctors better identify and predict these issues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born very early (before 32 weeks) and had bleeding in the brain or white matter damage.
- OR your baby was born at 34 weeks or later and had a lack of oxygen to the brain (treated with cooling) or a stroke around the time of birth.
- You are willing to give permission for your baby to join the study and can bring them back for future check-ups.

This study uses a special light-based monitor (NIRS) to track blood flow in the brain of premature infants. It compares babies in different conditions related to bleeding, fluid buildup, or other brain fluid changes to help doctors understand what monitoring can show.
This study tests a special, non-invasive sensor (near-infrared light) to help doctors choose the best cooling treatment for some newborns after brain injury. It may improve how well cooling works and how safely it’s managed in the first week of life.
This study looks at eye and vision outcomes in babies who have had lack of oxygen around birth (HIE) and also compares them with healthy “well babies.” It may help doctors better understand how HIE affects the eyes and what to watch for over time.
This pilot study looks at early vision (what babies can see and how their eyes respond) in children who have risk factors for future “cerebral visual impairment,” meaning vision problems caused by the brain. It may help doctors spot issues earlier and better understand which early visual signs matter.
This study looks at biomarkers (biological signs) in infants who had a brain injury around birth or were born very early, and compares them with healthy babies. The goal is to learn more about brain injuries and recovery.
This study looks at how brain injuries or abnormalities affect vision in children. It aims to better understand and diagnose cerebral visual impairment (CVI), a vision problem caused by brain issues rather than eye problems.
