Tiny brains, big insights: how premature infants' brain waves reveal early development

NCT ID NCT03677908

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study looked at brain wave patterns in 28 healthy premature infants born between 26 and 32 weeks of pregnancy. Researchers used EEG to measure a specific type of brain activity called temporal theta slow-wave activity. The goal was to understand where this activity comes from in the brain and whether it happens on its own or only in response to sounds. This is an observational study, not a treatment trial.

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 research could help doctors better understand how the brains of premature babies develop, potentially leading to earlier detection of developmental issues.
What could go wrong
This is a small, observational study with only 28 infants. It does not test any treatment, so it cannot directly improve health outcomes. Results may not apply to all premature infants.

Who is studied

28 healthy premature infants follow-up between the Gestational Ages of 26 and 32 wGA between December 2014 and June 2015. These infants were divided into two groups accord- ing to age (26-30 wGA and 30-32 wGA).

Ages

Children (under 18), adults (18 to 64) and older adults (65 and over)

Sex

Anyone
