U.S., Dec. 6 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07266246) titled 'Effectiveness of Aluminum Foil vs White Linen Reflectors in Phototherapy for Neonatal Hyperbilirubinemia' on Sept. 23.
Brief Summary: Background: Indirect hyperbilirubinemia (IHB) is a common neonatal condition, affecting over 60% of term and 80% of preterm infants. Phototherapy is the most widely used, safe, and non-invasive treatment; however, scattering of phototherapy light decreases treatment efficacy, prolongs therapy duration, and increases the risk of side effects. Reflective materials have been suggested to enhance phototherapy effectiveness, yet studies comparing different reflector types remain limited.
