Heart surgery babies may face hidden sensory struggles
NCT ID NCT05137873
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study looked at 60 babies who had heart surgery for a condition called transposition of the great vessels before 6 months of age. Researchers used a special questionnaire to check for sensory integration disorders one week after surgery, and again at one month and six months. The goal was to find out how common these sensory problems are in this group.
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 this study finds a high rate of sensory issues, it could lead to better screening and early support for these babies after heart surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational study with only 60 babies. It measures sensory profiles shortly after surgery, so long-term outcomes are unknown.
