Helping premature babies heal brain injury
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Injuries & trauma, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment for brain injury in premature babies born before 32 weeks. It aims to protect and repair white matter, the part of the brain that helps nerve cells communicate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Born at or before 32 weeks of pregnancy
- Between 35 and 41 weeks old since your last period or ultrasound dating
- Have a brain injury seen on an MRI or ultrasound
- Currently in a hospital intensive care nursery that is part of the study
- No major health issues like genetic disorders, recent bleeding in the brain, or other serious conditions

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a medicine called memantine can help the brain heal after a mild or moderate head injury. It aims to improve recovery by protecting brain blood vessels and nerve cells.
This study looks at early brain scans and other markers to help predict and improve outcomes for newborns with brain injuries that might lead to cerebral palsy. It aims to find better ways to identify these high-risk babies early.
This trial tests whether a liquid form of the medicine sildenafil can help repair brain damage in newborns who had a difficult birth and were treated with cooling. If your baby meets the cooling criteria and has brain injury on an MRI, this study may offer an additional treatment option.
This trial tests giving stem cells through the nose to newborn babies who have brain injury from lack of oxygen or blood flow during birth. The goal is to reduce the risk of developing cerebral palsy.
This study looks at how well babies recover after certain types of brain injuries that happen around birth, such as stroke, bleeding, or lack of oxygen. You might join if your baby fits the specific age range and has a confirmed injury on brain imaging.
This trial tests whether giving both magnesium sulfate and melatonin to newborns with brain injury from lack of oxygen works better than magnesium sulfate alone. The goal is to see if the combination improves recovery and reduces long-term disability.
