Probiotics for brain development in preterm infants
Part of Mental health, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether giving probiotics (good bacteria) to preterm infants who received antibiotics can help their brain development. Your baby will get either a probiotic supplement or a placebo for 6 months, and we'll check their development.

This study tests a special diet plan for preterm infants to help their brains develop better. It aims to see if a tailored diet can improve thinking and learning as the baby grows.
This trial tests a probiotic supplement (Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis XLTG11) to see if it helps infants grow better and have fewer allergies. It is for healthy babies up to 3 years old who are at higher risk for allergies.
This study tests whether giving a probiotic (a 'good' bacteria) to babies who received antibiotics shortly after birth can help their developing gut and immune system. Participants will receive a daily probiotic or placebo for about 6 weeks, and their health will be monitored.
This trial studies whether giving probiotics (good bacteria) to premature babies can improve their health. It may help prevent stomach and gut problems in babies born before 32 weeks.
This study looks at how gut bacteria and sleep patterns affect early childhood development. It tests a probiotic (a healthy bacteria supplement) in premature and full-term babies to see if it improves their development and behavior.
This study tests whether giving healthy babies a daily probiotic supplement helps their gut bacteria develop in a healthy way. It compares two probiotic strains to a placebo (a supplement with no active ingredients).
