All recruiting trials (7)
-
Caffeine citrate after discharge for moderately preterm infants at risk of apnea
This trial tests whether continuing caffeine citrate after hospital discharge reduces apnea-related healthcare visits and improves development at 12 months in moderately preterm infants, compared to a placebo.
-
Baby brain MRI during natural sleep to track early development and cerebral palsy risk
We will try advanced MRI scans while infants sleep naturally to see if they reveal early brain differences in babies at risk for cerebral palsy and in typically developing infants.
-
Examining the effects of massage on newborn brain development
This study is testing whether daily massages can help improve brain development in newborns compared to those who don’t receive massages.
-
Program to strengthen parent-child attachment
This study tests a parenting program designed to help parents build a stronger bond with their toddlers aged 8 to 36 months to improve their emotional health and reduce behavior issues.
-
Identifying early signs of language impairments in infants
This study is trying to find early signs that could show if babies might have language problems later on, so we can better understand their development and help them with reading and spelling skills as they grow.
-
Assessing motor and cognitive development in infants using wearables
This study is testing a special wearable garment to see how it can help track the motor and cognitive development of infants, both those developing normally and those at risk for developmental issues.
-
Improving the hospital environment for preterm infants and their parents
This study is testing a special program to see if it helps preterm infants and their parents feel better and bond more during their time in the NICU compared to regular care.
