Could turning the lights off help the tiniest babies survive?
NCT ID NCT03927833
Summary
This study is testing if a new schedule for light therapy (phototherapy) is safer for extremely premature babies with jaundice. Instead of keeping the bright lights on continuously, the new method cycles the lights on and off in hourly intervals. Researchers want to see if this 'cycled' approach increases survival and reduces other health problems compared to the standard continuous light treatment.
