New Eye-Tracking and brain wave tests could spot newborn brain injury hours earlier

NCT ID NCT07702500

First seen Jul 14, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looks for early signs of brain injury in newborns who experienced oxygen deprivation at birth (perinatal asphyxia). Researchers will use EEG brain wave monitoring and eye-tracking tests, along with blood markers, to see if they can detect damage sooner than current methods. The goal is to compare development at 18 months in three groups: babies with asphyxia, those at risk, and healthy controls.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to earlier detection of brain injury in newborns, allowing faster treatment and better long-term development.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, so it won't test a treatment. The biomarkers may not prove reliable enough for routine use.
