Cooling treatment for newborns with birth-related brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether cooling a newborn's body after a difficult birth helps prevent brain damage. Researchers will track babies treated with this cooling therapy and use brain imaging to see how well it works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born at least 36 weeks into pregnancy (nearly full-term or later)
- Your baby shows signs of brain injury from lack of oxygen during birth, checked within 6 hours of birth
- Your baby received or is eligible for cooling treatment at National Children's Hospital in Vietnam
- Your baby had a brain MRI scan between 5 and 17 days old
- Your baby does not have major birth defects, especially affecting the brain or spine
- You agree to let researchers access your baby's complete medical records

This study uses whole genome sequencing to look at the genes of newborns with HIE (brain injury from lack of oxygen) who are receiving cooling treatment. The goal is to learn more about how genes may affect recovery and outcomes.
This trial tests whether adding a medication called dobutamine, which helps the heart pump, can improve recovery in newborns with HIE who are already receiving cooling treatment. It aims to see if this extra heart support can help babies recover better.
This study compares different approaches to “cooling” treatment in newborns with mild hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (mild brain injury from not enough oxygen around birth). The goal is to see which approach works best and is safest for babies like yours.
This Phase 3 study tests whether cooling a newborn’s body can help babies with mild brain injury after a difficult birth. It aims to see if cooling improves brain-related outcomes compared with standard care.
This study looks at how children who received cooling treatment for brain injury at birth are doing in the long run. It aims to understand the lasting effects of this treatment, which might help doctors improve care for future babies.
This trial studies outcomes in newborns who had breathing problems from low oxygen before or during birth and were treated with a cooling therapy (therapeutic hypothermia). It may help doctors understand which babies benefit most and what recovery looks like over time.
