Sound monitoring to detect breathing problems in very premature babies
Part of Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses special microphones to listen to and record breathing sounds in extremely premature infants (born before 29 weeks). The goal is to develop a simple, non-invasive way to detect breathing problems early so babies can get help faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born before 29 weeks of pregnancy (extremely premature)
- Your baby is currently breathing on their own without a breathing tube or ventilator
- Your baby does not have known major birth defects
- Your baby must be considered medically stable by their doctor at the time of the recording

This study is testing whether the sound of the bubbles in a CPAP machine can tell doctors how much pressure is being delivered to a premature baby's lungs. If it works, this could help doctors make sure babies are getting the right amount of breathing support without extra procedures.
This study tests a small, wireless button-like sensor to monitor vital signs in premature infants in the NICU. It may offer a gentler way to track your baby's health.
This trial studies whether listening to special “womb” sounds can help a preterm baby’s breathing control develop as they grow. It may help babies who are already breathing on their own (with low or no extra oxygen support).
This study tests a new way to reduce the number of times a preemie baby stops breathing (apnea). It's for babies born early who have apnea but are not on a breathing machine.
This study looks at how well a new breathing monitor works for children with sleep problems, breathing pauses in newborns, or epilepsy. It may help doctors better understand breathing patterns without extra needles or blood tests.
This study looks at how stable extremely premature, very low-weight babies are after their breathing tube is removed for the first time. It aims to understand what helps these tiny infants breathe well on their own.
