New sensor reveals how newborn brains adapt after birth
NCT ID NCT04225975
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how a newborn's brain and blood flow work together in the first minutes after birth. Researchers will place a small patch on the baby's scalp to measure brain activity and oxygen levels. The goal is to learn more about how babies adjust to life outside the womb, especially those at risk for brain injury from lack of oxygen. About 60 full-term newborns will take part.
