Infant Learning Project Clinical Trials Information presented on Clinical Trials Search is not designed to be a substitute for certified medical advice, trips or professional assistance with a real medical doctor. We aren't docs. Always confer with your doctor about Infant Learning Project conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website committed to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Infant Learning Project Clinical research trials and Infant Learning Project health trials happen in many of cities across the US. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally measure the effectualness of new does drugs. The intention of the studies / projects is to figure out particular human healthcare questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for doctors, government agencies, and private sector corporations to detect cures for all forms of circumstances, like Infant Learning Project. Infant Learning Project Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to undergo medical treatment options before they are available to the general public. Most times the subjects get treatment for free of charge, and occasionally they are paid for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Infant Learning Project clinical trial. Subjects frequently get the best healthcare possible for their Infant Learning Project condition. Hazards are a reality, however, and could include more or frequent mD visits, health risks (possibly life-jeopardizing), and/or the treatment being ineffectual. Trials are federally regulated with exacting guidelines to protect clinical trials patients.

Infant Learning Project

For Condition: Craniosynostosis
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) ,
Synopsis: To learn more about the cognitive and motor development of babies born with a craniofacial birth defect called craniosynostosis.
Details: Abstract: In this multi-site, 5-year longitudinal study, infants with one of four types of single-suture craniosynostosis will be recruited: sagittal, metopic, right unilateral coronal, and left unilateral coronal (n = 250). A case-matched "control" group of healthy, normal infants (n = 250) will also be followed. The long-term objectives are to chart the neurobehavioral course of single-suture fusions and to better understand how the developing cranium affects human brain growth and function. Specific aims are to : (1) Clarify the neurobehavioral development and parental adjustment of infants with and without single-suture fusions at three time points in infancy and early childhood (just prior to cranioplastic surgery and twice post-surgery, at 18 and 36 months of age); (2) Among children with craniosynostosis, clarify relations between neurobehavioral development and abnormality in bone and brain tissue as indicated by measures taken from pre-surgery CT scans; (3) Among children with unicoronal synostosis, clarify relations between neurobehavioral development and presence of mutations; (4) Develop predictive models of 36-month outcomes for infants with craniosynostosis; and (5) Determine the relation between age of cranioplastic surgery and pre- and post-surgery neurobehavioral development.
