Clinical Trial Summary

Oxygen radicals and inflammation are important causes for brain injury in neonates following perinatal asphyxia. Animal studies demonstrated potential benefits to the brain when using both of vitamin C and ibuprofen. The efficacy of these 2 drugs when combined in protecting the human brain has not been studied. We aimed in this study to test the hypothesis that a combination of anti-oxidants (vitamin C) and anti-inflammatory (ibuprofen) drugs can decrease the brain injury in perinatal asphyxia and improve outcomes when given to infants immediately after birth.
