Brain scans for babies with slow growth in the womb
Part of Genetic & congenital, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study uses a special type of MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to look at the brain development of babies who are growing slowly in the womb. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors better understand this condition and how to care for these babies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with one baby
- You are between 28 and 38 weeks pregnant
- You are between 18 and 45 years old
- For women with slow fetal growth: an ultrasound shows the baby is smaller than expected
- For women with a normal pregnancy: you and your baby are healthy
- You are willing and able to give written informed consent

This study uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze ultrasound images and predict pregnancy outcomes for babies with early-onset fetal growth restriction (FGR) caused by placenta problems. If you are carrying a single baby with this condition and your doctor is continuing to monitor the pregnancy without immediate delivery, this trial may apply to you.
This study tests whether melatonin (a natural sleep hormone) can help babies who are not growing well in the womb due to placental blood-flow problems. Researchers will measure if melatonin improves the baby's growth and health before delivery.
This study uses special imaging techniques to look at the placenta during pregnancy. It aims to learn more about normal pregnancies and those where the baby is growing more slowly than expected.
This study follows pregnancies where the baby appears smaller than expected on ultrasound. It may help researchers better understand why this happens and how to monitor care over time.
This study uses fetal MRI scans from a large group of healthy pregnancies to create standard growth charts for brain measurements. This helps doctors better understand normal fetal brain development.
This trial uses an MRI scan to look at placental health in pregnancies where the baby (or one twin) is not growing as expected. The goal is to better understand placental problems and how they may affect baby growth.
