Ultrasound test for brain injuries in newborns
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses a special ultrasound (called transcranial Doppler) to check for brain injuries in high-risk newborns. It might help doctors find problems early in babies who are sick or had a difficult birth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Baby is a newborn (boy or girl).
- Baby is considered high-risk, such as being very sick, having an infection, seizures, or breathing problems.
- Baby had a low APGAR score (less than 7) or low birth weight (less than 5.5 pounds).
- Baby was born after a difficult or instrument-assisted delivery.
- Baby does NOT have major birth defects, genetic metabolic diseases, or severe infections picked up in the womb.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses ultrasound scans of the head and eye to quickly check how severe a traumatic brain injury is, which may help doctors predict who needs closer monitoring and earlier treatment.
This study uses a safe ultrasound test (Doppler) to look at blood flow in the brains of newborn babies. It aims to see how blood flow differs between full-term and preterm infants, which could help doctors understand and support brain health in the first days of life.
This study tests whether a portable ultrasound can safely spot brain problems in children who already need a CT scan or MRI. The goal is to see if ultrasound could be a faster, easier alternative for finding issues in the emergency room or intensive care unit.
This study tests if a bedside ultrasound can safely identify children with head injuries who may not need a CT scan, reducing radiation exposure. It compares ultrasound results with standard head CT findings.
This Phase 3 study tests whether detailed ultrasound scans (with contrast and stiffness measurements) can help doctors assess a baby’s brain. It may help by improving how early brain changes are detected in newborn care settings.
This trial uses a new ultrasound device (NeoDoppler) to watch blood flow in a baby's brain continuously. It aims to see if this gentle, bedside tool can help doctors monitor babies—especially those born early or with certain health concerns—without moving them.
