Pain in infants with excessive crying: thermal imaging study
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special thermal camera can help understand why babies cry excessively. It may help find out if babies with colic have unrecognized pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby is between 3 and 9 weeks old (corrected for prematurity).
- Your baby has been diagnosed with infant colic (unexplained crying more than 3 hours/day for more than 3 days in the past week).
- Your baby has no known brain, spine, or stomach problems.
- Your baby was born at 37 weeks or later.
- You (the legal guardian) speak French and agree to participate.

This trial tests if melatonin can help reduce excessive crying in otherwise healthy newborns. It may offer a safe option for babies who cry for more than 3 hours a day on more than 3 days a week.
This study follows kids who have a specific type of chronic pain (headaches, stomach pain, or muscle/joint pain) to better understand how pain changes over time. It also checks whether certain factors are linked to those pain patterns.
This trial tests whether a probiotic can reduce symptoms of infantile colic, especially long periods of crying or fussing. If eligible, you’d use a daily crying diary and attend several study visits to see if symptoms improve.
This study records cries from full-term and premature newborns to see if crying patterns can predict brain development. It may lead to earlier detection of developmental issues.
This trial tests whether probiotic Limosilactobacillus reuteri (a specific friendly gut bacteria) can shorten how long a baby cries when they have colic. If you join, you’ll keep feeding as usual and track crying in a diary across several visits.
This trial tests if a probiotic (Limosilactobacillus reuteri) can help reduce crying and fussing in breastfed babies with colic. If your baby is 3-12 weeks old, has colic (cries or fusses 3+ hours a day), and is mostly breastfed, this study may be an option.
