Probiotic for newborn jaundice
Part of Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study tests whether a probiotic (a beneficial bacteria) can help treat jaundice in newborns who need light therapy. Jaundice causes yellowing of the skin and eyes. The probiotic may help break down the substance causing the yellow color.

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 whether giving probiotics (healthy bacteria) to newborns with jaundice helps them get better faster when they are also receiving light therapy (phototherapy). It is for babies with moderate jaundice who need treatment and do not have other serious health issues.
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 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 trial tests if giving a zinc or bile acid medicine alongside light therapy helps break down jaundice faster in newborns. It could shorten treatment time for babies who need phototherapy in their first week of life.
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.
