Baby brain waves may reveal future learning risks after heart surgery
NCT ID NCT05658965
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether brain wave tests (EEG) done before and after heart surgery in babies under 1 year old can predict later learning or behavior problems, such as autism or ADHD. About 50 infants will be followed to age 2. The goal is to find early warning signs so that children can get the right support sooner.
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 help doctors identify infants at risk for developmental issues early, allowing for tailored follow-up care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage observational study (50 participants) that aims to find markers, not test a treatment. It may not lead to a proven prediction method.
