Summary

This study tests whether adding melatonin to standard care helps newborns with brain injury from lack of oxygen (HIE) survive and recover. About 110 full-term babies will receive either melatonin or standard care alone. The main goal is to see if more babies survive to 28 days and if their brain injury improves within the first week.
