Three babies born at St Mary\u2019s hospital were enrolled in a pioneering Cannabidiol (CBD) research as a potential treatment for newborns with moderate or severe brain injury.<\/p>\n

Zahra Murangwa, who was born in September, 2021, and had to be treated for a moderate brain injury. <\/p>\n

Zagra’s mum, Sibihwana, 34, said: \u201cShe had a normal pregnancy and then was induced at full-term due to a slightly elevated level of amniotic fluid<\/a>, which is NHS standard of care if there is a risk to the baby.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe birth was initially going well, but baby was facing back-to-back and couldn\u2019t come out. Due to her position and the prolonged labour, the decision was made for an emergency caesarean.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter delivery, they found she had oxygen loss, she couldn\u2019t breathe properly on her own and she had a seizure.<\/p>\n

“The clinical team did then manage to get her to breathe independently and she didn\u2019t need to be intubated, but she had to be taken to NICU because of a suspected brain injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was really quite stressful. I didn\u2019t get to hold her after she was born. I didn\u2019t get to hold her for four or five days.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe research team explained what the study would involve, and we consented as we had no problem with it. The same way that Zahra was helped by the cooling treatment which is still fairly new, we wanted to help others in future.<\/p>\n

\"CBD,
Zarah Murangwa<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cWe weren\u2019t sure whether it would help Zahra directly or whether she would receive the placebo, but we were just happy for our daughter to participate.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to us, I wouldn\u2019t want someone else to go through what we went through.<\/p>\n

“We agreed that if in any way we can help someone else go through this easier or quicker or if we could help improve outcomes for other babies who have a similar injury, we\u2019d be glad to take part in it.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been privileged for her to have the cooling treatment, even though it was distressing, that\u2019s one of the reasons her life was saved. We don\u2019t have access to cutting-edge treatment like this back home and we feel really fortunate.<\/p>\n

\u201cZahra doesn\u2019t seem to have a severe form of the injury, God willing it will be a mild form and resolve completely on its own. She hasn\u2019t had any seizures since just after she was born.<\/p>\n

\n

To us, she is perfect and everything we hoped she\u2019d be<\/p>\n

Dr Ajit Mahaveer, Research Lead and Consultant Neonatologist at Saint Mary\u2019s Hospital, is the Principal Investigator of the study at MFT<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Dr Ajit Mahaveer, consultant neonatologist at St Mary\u2019s, said: \u201cPre-clinical research has shown that cannabidiol improved many of the damaging consequences of brain injury, as well as protective effects in both short-term and long-term administrations, which is why this clinical research has been undertaken.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are hugely grateful to all families who consented to their babies taking part in this study , during what we know is already a really difficult time for them . As their participation could help us improve future outcomes for babies born with Hypoxic-ischemic Encephalopathy<\/a> (HIE).\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
