MRI brain scan to predict development in infants with white matter injury
This study uses MRI brain scans to identify infants at risk of developmental delays. It aims to help families understand their baby's future needs and get early support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby was born at 32 to 42 weeks of pregnancy.
- Your baby had a brain MRI before 45 weeks corrected age (due date plus weeks).
- The MRI showed small white matter spots called punctate white matter lesions.
- Your baby does not have other brain injuries like severe bleeding or stroke, or birth defects.
- Your baby does not have confirmed genetic or metabolic diseases.
- Your baby can complete the MRI and follow-up checkups.

This study looks at early brain scans and other markers to help predict and improve outcomes for newborns with brain injuries that might lead to cerebral palsy. It aims to find better ways to identify these high-risk babies early.
This trial studies whether a special type of MRI can find brain white matter changes early. It might help people who have early symptoms or are at risk for diseases affecting the brain's wiring.
This study uses safe MRI scans during natural sleep to look at how babies' brains develop, especially those at risk for cerebral palsy. It aims to find early signs of movement problems so treatment can start sooner.
This study uses MRI scans to look at how memory starts to form in newborn babies' brains. It may help us understand early brain development, but it is only for healthy newborns born at a specific hospital.
This study uses a safe, non-invasive ultrasound technique to measure brain activity in newborn babies. It aims to understand brain development and connectivity in preterm infants, infants with birth-related oxygen deprivation, growth-restricted babies, siblings of children with autism, and healthy full-term babies.
This study uses an MRI scan to look at how the lungs develop in babies born very early (before 29 weeks of pregnancy). The goal is to see if early MRI images can help predict future breathing problems, so doctors can better support these infants.
