1,200 babies join study to map early brain development
NCT ID NCT07418528
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study aims to understand how infants and toddlers develop thinking, language, movement, and social skills in the first few years of life. Researchers will assess 1,200 children aged 16 days to 42 months using standardized tests and parent questionnaires. The goal is to identify typical developmental patterns and early signs of potential difficulties, which could help improve early diagnosis and support for children at risk.
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 study could improve early detection of developmental delays in young children, leading to better support and interventions.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly benefit participants, and findings may not apply to all children or lead to immediate changes in care.

Inclusion Criteria: * Infants and young children aged from 16 days to 42 months at the time of assessment. * Participation of a parent or legal guardian able to provide informed consent. * Child's ability to participate in a standardized developmental assessment appropriate for age and developmental level. * Availability of basic medical and perinatal information provided by parents or caregivers. * Assignment to one of the predefined study cohorts based on medical history and developmental status: children from the general population (control group), children with developmental delay, children with confirmed genetic conditions, children born preterm between 33 and 37 weeks of gestation, children born before 33 weeks of gestation, children with a diagnosis of cerebral palsy. Exclusion Criteria: * Severe acute medical condition at the time of assessment preventing participation in the psychological evaluation. * Uncorrected severe sensory impairments (e.g., profound visual or hearing impairment) that preclude valid administration or interpretation of the developmental assessment. * Medical instability or conditions requiring immediate intensive medical care. * Lack of informed consent from a parent or legal guardian. * Inability of the parent or caregiver to provide reliable information required for questionnaire-based assessment.
