NCT ID NCT07146451
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 480 children born to mothers who received either nifedipine or a placebo after early rupture of membranes (22-33 weeks). Researchers will assess the children at age 6 for cerebral palsy, coordination, language, behavior, and thinking skills using parent questionnaires and online tests. The goal is to see if nifedipine exposure before birth has any long-term effects on neurodevelopment.
