Magnesium sulphate to protect babies born very early
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving magnesium sulphate (a mineral treatment) to pregnant women at risk of delivering very early (32–35 weeks) can protect the baby's brain and nervous system. The treatment is given before labor starts.
