Comparing breathing support methods for very premature babies
Part of Genetic & congenital, Lungs & breathing, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at a new way to help very premature babies who need breathing support right after birth. The goal is to find a gentler method that may reduce lung damage and improve breathing outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born before 32 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby received breathing help through a mask (not a tube) in the first 10 minutes after birth.
- You (parent or guardian) give permission.
- Your baby does not have a serious birth defect that affects breathing or the heart (like a hole in the diaphragm, an abnormal connection between the windpipe and food pipe, or certain heart conditions).

This trial studies whether NEU-STIM can help support breathing and oxygen levels in babies born very early. If your baby is born before 32 weeks, the study may include them after you provide consent.
This study compares two types of non-invasive breathing support for premature babies who are having trouble breathing due to underdeveloped lungs. The goal is to see which method works better and helps babies breathe comfortably without needing a breathing tube.
This study looks at how different pressure settings on breathing support after coming off the ventilator affect very premature babies. It aims to find the best way to keep babies stable and reduce lung damage.
This study compares two gentle ways of helping premature babies breathe (using a mask or small tubes in the nose) to see which works better for babies with breathing problems. It aims to find the best way to support babies born early who need help taking their first breaths.
This study tests whether delivering breathing support through a soft face mask (nasal non-invasive ventilation) can help premature babies who are having trouble breathing. Doctors will also use ultrasound to monitor their lungs.
This trial tests different ways to help very preterm babies when they are first taken off a breathing machine and switched to CPAP. It aims to find the safest and most effective breathing support to help them breathe on their own.
