Advanced MRI for brain bleeding in newborns
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses advanced MRI scans to look at the brains of newborns who have had bleeding in the brain (IVH) and developed a condition called PHVD (fluid buildup after bleeding). The goal is to learn more about the brain and how it is affected, which could help improve care for these babies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby had bleeding in the brain (IVH) after birth.
- Your baby developed fluid buildup in the brain (PHVD) after the bleeding.
- Your baby is being treated or has been treated at Great Ormond Street Hospital or Alder Hey Children's Hospital.
- You, as a parent or carer, are willing to give informed consent for your baby to take part.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a treatment called neuroendoscopic lavage—a way to wash out a severe brain bleed in newborns using a tiny camera. It may help prevent fluid buildup and brain damage. Doctors want to see if it works better than regular care for babies under one month old with this condition.
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 the outcomes of brain bleeding (intraventricular hemorrhage) in very premature babies. It aims to understand how these babies do and what helps them, which may lead to better care.
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 follows newborns and premature babies who had bleeding in the brain (intra-cranial or within the brain’s fluid spaces). It looks at long-term outcomes to better understand what happens over time and support families with care planning.
This study uses special MRI scans to look at swelling around a brain bleed. It may help doctors understand and treat this condition better in the future.
