Transient familial neonatal hyperbilirubinemia

This trial tests whether using higher (less strict) bilirubin thresholds for starting light therapy in very preterm infants (born before 30 weeks) is as safe as the current Dutch guidelines. About 680 babies across Dutch NICUs will be randomly assigned to one of two threshold str…

This study tests whether the BIND score, a quick neurological check, can predict brain risk in newborns with severe jaundice. Researchers will use the score to guide phototherapy treatment in 80 infants under 28 days old. The goal is to catch and treat dangerous jaundice early, p…

This study looks at whether foot reflexology and body massage can help newborns with jaundice who are already receiving light therapy (phototherapy). Researchers will measure bilirubin levels, heart rate, breathing, and stress in 105 babies. The goal is to see if these gentle, dr…
