Brain blood flow in newborns using ultrasound
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses a safe, painless ultrasound to measure blood flow in the brains of newborns (both full-term and preterm) in the first 48 hours after birth. The goal is to understand how blood flow differs in these babies, which may help improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be a full-term (37 weeks or more) or preterm (less than 37 weeks) newborn.
- Your baby needs to be less than 48 hours old at the time of the exam.
- Your baby should be stable (not on a ventilator or strong heart medicines).
- Your baby must not have major heart, brain, or face birth defects.
- Your baby cannot have a brain bleed or other brain condition that might affect the test results.
- Your baby needs to have a birth weight that is right for their gestational age.

This study uses a painless light-based monitor to track how blood is moving in the brains of newborns during resuscitation. It may help doctors better understand what’s happening during care for very sick newborns.
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 measures how well blood flows to the brain in infants with serious heart defects. The results may help doctors understand and protect brain development before and after heart surgery.
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 uses MRI scans to measure blood flow in the brains of children during routine brain imaging. It helps doctors better understand normal brain blood flow in children.
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.
