View clinical trials related to Premature Birth.
Filter by:20 parents with healthy preterm infants (born at <37 weeks of gestation), age 0-6 months and discharged from the hospital at time of enrollment and 20 parents with healthy full-term infants (born at ≥37 weeks of gestation), age 0-6 months and discharged from the hospital at time of enrollment will be enrolled to obtain records of sleep, stress, and infant nutrition from parents of infants (preterm and full-term) through interaction with the study chatbot.
Objective To compare vaginal microbiota in the first trimester of pregnancy between spontaneous preterm and term deliveries
The purpose of this study is to explore the perinatal risk factors of preterm birth in China.
The indications that motivated the decision to transfuse (or not) were analyzed to verify compliance with HAS recommendations. Medical records from 57 premature infants < 32 weeks hospitalized between 2016 -2017 were retrospectively analysed, especially all the events related to monitoring of hemoglobin level and RBC transfusions during the first month of life. The criteria (postnatal age, rate of haemoglobin, type of breathing assistance, oxygen needing, medullary regeneration) on which rely the decision process in the HAS algorithm for the RBC transfusion were also considered, as well as the final decision actually adopted for each case (transfused/ not transfused). All this made it possible to determine the kappa coefficient for evaluation of agreement with HAS new guidelines in the investigator's medical staff.
In this study workers are trying to test the correlation between Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination and MRI brain/cranial ultrasound with early prediction of neurological developmental outcome of preterm neonates. This study is prospective cross-sectional collecting the data of patients according to daily standard medical practice
This study is being done to test the effect of PSD502 (the study medication) compared to placebo in subjects with premature ejaculation. PSD502 is a topical (applied to skin) anesthetic spray containing a mixture of two drugs called lidocaine and prilocaine that will be applied to the penis. Half of the subjects will receive PSD502 and half will receive placebo.
After preterm birth mothers often suffer from hypogalactia. Herbal galactogogues can be used in order to increase milk production. In this double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial the effect of Silitidil, an extract from milk thistle, on the postpartal milk production in mothers of very premature newborns is investigated.
This project explores whether meditation increases breastmilk supply in mothers who are pumping milk for infants in the NICU. Mothers will be randomly assigned to daily meditation while pumping using an app designed for meditation for new mothers, and their breastmilk volume will be measured after one week of meditation versus a control group with measurements at the same time points. Investigators will also determine whether mediation improves breastfeeding confidence and reduces stress, anxiety and depression symptoms in these mothers. Finally investigators will examine the effect on salivary cortisol levels.
Kangaroo position (KP), the essential component of the Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) method, has been increasingly implemented, given the benefits of early skin-to-skin contact on the cerebral maturation of preterm infants. In addition it allows for parents to bond with their infants and humanize the care of fragile infants in neonatal units. Evidence on kinesthetic stimulation (KS) is scarce and currently there is no available evidence on KS during the KP. KS is associated with massage in this paper
Oxidative stress is recognized as a important factor in the pathogenesis premature birth. Preterm birth is defined as delivery before 37 completed weeks of gestation and it is the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. The investigators conducted this analysis to investigate the safety of administration of Atosiban - a reversible, competitive antagonist of the oxytocin receptor in the treatment of preterm labor and its impact on the level of oxidative stress after 48 hours of tocolytic treatment.
