3D ultrasound to predict development in preterm babies
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses a special 3D ultrasound to take detailed images of your baby's brain. The goal is to find early signs that can predict how well your baby will develop, so doctors can offer the right support early on.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born very early, between 23 and 29 weeks of pregnancy.
- A parent or guardian is willing to sign a consent form.
- Your baby is not receiving comfort-only care (palliative care).
- Your baby does not have a major birth defect or chromosome problem.
- Your baby has French health insurance coverage.

This study uses a safe, non-invasive ultrasound technique to measure brain activity in newborn babies. It aims to understand brain development and connectivity in preterm infants, infants with birth-related oxygen deprivation, growth-restricted babies, siblings of children with autism, and healthy full-term babies.
This study uses lung ultrasound to see if it can predict which late preterm babies (born 34–36 weeks) might have trouble breathing after birth. The goal is to find these babies early so they can get the right care sooner.
This study uses ultrasound to examine fetal brain and spine development in pregnant women. It compares scans from pregnancies where a brain or spine issue is suspected with those from healthy pregnancies to improve understanding and diagnosis.
This study tests whether combining skin-to-skin holding with a 10-minute sound recording can help premature babies' brains develop better. If you have a baby born early (24–33 weeks), you may be able to take part.
This study uses artificial intelligence to analyze cervical ultrasound images taken during pregnancy to predict whether a baby might be born early. The goal is to help doctors identify pregnancies at higher risk so they can plan better care.
This study tests whether different caregivers get the same results when they observe very premature babies using a special scale. It may help improve how we measure development in early-born infants.
