Advanced MRI scans for babies with brain bleeds
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses advanced MRI scans to look closely at the brains of babies who have had a bleed and fluid buildup. The goal is to understand the condition better and help guide treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must have a condition called post-hemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (PHVD), which means fluid builds up in the brain after a bleed.
- Your baby must be receiving care at Great Ormond Street Hospital or Alder Hey Children's Hospital.
- Your baby must have been referred to or already received neurosurgical treatment (like a drain or surgery for the brain).
- You, as the parent or carer, must give permission (informed consent) for your baby to take part.

This trial tests a procedure called neuroendoscopic lavage, which uses a small camera and fluid to gently wash out blood from the fluid spaces in a newborn's brain after a severe bleeding. It aims to reduce pressure and help prevent further damage.
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 looks at using two noninvasive tools on very preterm newborns to better predict whether an intraventricular hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain’s fluid spaces) may happen. If successful, it could help doctors spot risk earlier and monitor or treat babies sooner.
This study looks at ways to prevent, find early, and manage bleeding in the brain and the fluid buildup that can follow in premature babies. If your baby had such bleeding and fluid buildup, the study may offer close monitoring and care to help improve outcomes.
This study looks at how well babies recover after certain types of brain injuries that happen around birth, such as stroke, bleeding, or lack of oxygen. You might join if your baby fits the specific age range and has a confirmed injury on brain imaging.
This study uses MRI scans of the brain to help doctors better understand and diagnose inherited conditions that affect children's brains. It may help find clearer signs of these diseases on imaging, which could lead to earlier and more accurate diagnoses.
