Probiotic treatment for newborn jaundice
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving a probiotic (a beneficial bacteria) to newborns with jaundice helps lower bilirubin levels faster when combined with standard light therapy. If effective, this could shorten hospital stays and reduce the need for more invasive treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be 0 to 28 days old.
- Your baby was born full-term (between 37 and 42 weeks of pregnancy).

This trial tests whether zinc or probiotics can help babies with jaundice recover faster while receiving phototherapy (light treatment). It aims to find a safe, easy way to lower bilirubin levels.
This trial tests different ways to give light therapy to newborns with jaundice. It compares different approaches to see which is best, and may help parents understand the most effective treatment for their baby.
This study tests whether adding a medicine called Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA) to standard light therapy (phototherapy) helps treat newborn jaundice more quickly. Jaundice causes yellow skin and eyes, and this trial looks at babies whose jaundice is severe enough to need light treatment.
This study tests a new phototherapy (special light treatment) device to treat newborn jaundice. It may help by seeing whether this device can treat jaundice safely and effectively.
This study looks at whether adding a medicine (fenofibrate or phenobarbitone) to standard light therapy (phototherapy) can help lower bilirubin faster in newborns with jaundice. It compares the two medicines to see which one works better.
This study looks at whether giving a bath to newborns receiving light therapy for jaundice helps with their comfort, skin health, and jaundice levels. If your baby is healthy except for jaundice and needs phototherapy, this study could show if bathing makes them feel better.
