EEG-based tool to help diagnose brain injury in newborns
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses EEG (a test that records brain activity) to help doctors quickly identify brain injury in newborns who had a difficult birth. If successful, it could lead to earlier treatment and better outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be at least 36 weeks of gestation at birth
- Your baby's birth weight must be at least 1800 grams (about 4 pounds)
- Your baby must have had signs of a lack of oxygen around birth (e.g., low Apgar score or acidosis)
- An EEG must be taken within 6 hours after birth
- No objection to using your baby's medical data for research

This trial is for newborn babies who had an oxygen shortage around birth and now have severe brain injury. It aims to test approaches that may help improve outcomes after this kind of early-life brain damage.
This study looks at a blood test that might help check brain injury in newborns who had a lack of oxygen at birth. The test could give doctors more information to help care for your baby.
This study looks at eye and vision outcomes in babies who have had lack of oxygen around birth (HIE) and also compares them with healthy “well babies.” It may help doctors better understand how HIE affects the eyes and what to watch for over time.
This trial studies whether RLS-0071 is safe and can help some newborns with moderate or severe hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), a brain injury caused by low oxygen around birth. Babies in the study also receive standard whole-body cooling (therapeutic hypothermia), and the researchers will watch for side effects and early signs of benefit.
This study uses a special brainwave monitor on newborn babies who may have had a difficult birth or low oxygen levels. The goal is to see if this monitor can help doctors find babies who need extra care.
This study looks at biomarkers (biological signs) in infants who had a brain injury around birth or were born very early, and compares them with healthy babies. The goal is to learn more about brain injuries and recovery.
