Light therapy cap for infant brain recovery after cardiac arrest
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a special light-emitting cap (called LUCID) to see if it can help reduce brain damage in babies who have had a cardiac arrest in the hospital. The cap is placed on the baby's head soon after the heart restarts, and the researchers will monitor the baby's recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be between 2 days and 1 year old, born at least 38 weeks, and weigh at least 5.5 pounds.
- Your baby must have a heart condition and have had a cardiac arrest (heart stopped) while in the hospital.
- Your baby must have received chest compressions (CPR) for at least 2 minutes and needed a breathing tube after being revived.
- Your baby must not have certain other serious brain conditions, bleeding problems, or sickle cell disease.
- A parent or guardian must agree to the study and speak English or Spanish.

This study tests a device that measures oxygen levels in the brain during recovery from cardiac arrest. It aims to see if monitoring brain oxygen helps doctors make better treatment decisions after the heart restarts.
This trial tests a light therapy device in newborns who had a severe form of brain bleeding (intraventricular hemorrhage grade 3 or 4) within the first month of life. The goal is to see if this non-invasive treatment may help improve recovery.
This study tests whether using body cooling for different lengths of time helps children recover better after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. It focuses on children who remain very unresponsive after resuscitation and need a breathing tube and steady temperature control.
This trial studies whether giving a specific IV fluid (hypertonic lactate) soon after resuscitation from cardiac arrest can improve recovery. It is for adults who remain in a deep unresponsive state after return of spontaneous circulation.
This study tests whether light therapy can help children in the pediatric intensive care unit (ICU) feel better and recover. A parent or guardian must be at the bedside and speak English.
This trial tests a set of treatments designed to protect the brain in people who remain unconscious after their heart restarts following a cardiac arrest. It may help improve recovery by preventing further brain injury.
