First seen Mar 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 14, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study tests a non-invasive light-based device to measure blood flow and oxygen use in the brains of premature infants who have bleeding or fluid buildup. Researchers will compare these measurements in affected babies, those with other types of fluid buildup, and healthy newborns. The goal is to find a better way to track disease severity and how well treatments work.
