Scientists investigate whether prenatal steroid treatment impacts Children's minds years later
NCT ID NCT02795871
Summary
This study aimed to understand whether a steroid treatment (dexamethasone) given during pregnancy to prevent genital development issues in girls with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) affects children's thinking, memory, and emotions later in life. Researchers followed 354 children aged 6 to 15, including those who received the treatment and their siblings, to compare their cognitive and emotional development. The goal was to gather clear evidence to help doctors decide if the benefits of this prenatal treatment outweigh potential risks to a child's brain development.
