NCT ID NCT05889507
First seen Feb 06, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study tests whether cooling the body of babies who had a mild lack of oxygen at birth can improve their thinking and learning skills by age 2. About 426 full-term newborns will be randomly assigned to either whole-body cooling or normal temperature care. The goal is to see if cooling, started within 6 hours of birth and continued for 72 hours, leads to better brain development and is cost-effective for the NHS.
