Brainwave monitoring for newborns who had distress at birth
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be born at 36 weeks or later (full-term or close to it).
- Parent or guardian must agree to join the study.
- You had a blood test in the first hour of life showing either very acidic blood (pH 7.0 or lower) or a high base deficit (16 or more).
- If the blood test was less severe (pH 7.01-7.15 or base deficit at least 16), you also need one of these: a 10-minute Apgar score of 5 or less, needing breathing help for 10 minutes or more, or a clear birth emergency (like abnormal heart rate, cord wrapped tightly, or a difficult delivery).

This study tests a special, non-invasive sensor (near-infrared light) to help doctors choose the best cooling treatment for some newborns after brain injury. It may improve how well cooling works and how safely it’s managed in the first week of life.
This study enrolls newborns (within the first 28 days of life) who have specific brain or nervous system conditions. It tests how these conditions are tracked and studied, which may help improve care and understanding over time.
This study measures a newborn’s brain activity immediately after delivery. It may help doctors better understand early brain function in healthy full-term babies.
This Phase 3 study tests whether cooling a newborn’s body can help babies with mild brain injury after a difficult birth. It aims to see if cooling improves brain-related outcomes compared with standard care.
This study compares different approaches to “cooling” treatment in newborns with mild hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (mild brain injury from not enough oxygen around birth). The goal is to see which approach works best and is safest for babies like yours.
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.
