NCT ID NCT03928457
First seen Jun 13, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether the constant low-level radiofrequency exposure from medical devices in the NICU affects the brain development of preterm infants. Researchers measured exposure levels over six weeks and tracked sleep patterns, brain oxygen levels, and heart rate in 40 babies born at 26-34 weeks. The goal is to understand if these exposures are harmful, not to test a treatment.
