Sleep hormone tested as brain shield for Oxygen-Deprived newborns

NCT ID NCT02621944

Summary

This study is testing whether adding the natural hormone melatonin to standard cooling therapy can better protect the brains of newborns who experienced oxygen deprivation during birth. Researchers will give increasing doses to 30 newborns to find the safest and most effective amount. The goal is to see if melatonin reduces brain injury and improves long-term development compared to cooling therapy alone.
