Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with HS-10353 reduces depressive symptoms in participants with postpartum depression (PPD) compared to placebo as assessed by the change from baseline in the 17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAM-D17) total score at Day 15. And the secondary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of HS-10353 compared to placebo as assessed by the incidence of adverse events, clinical laboratory evaluations, electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters, the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), and the 20-item Physician Withdrawal Checklist (PWC-20).
Postpartum depression (PPD) affects 10-20% of women, with immigrant Latinas disproportionately affected. PPD prevention and treatment is limited among immigrant Latinas due to an array of structural and cultural factors, suggesting the need to deliver interventions outside of traditional healthcare settings. Virtual interventions have the potential to reduce barriers to mental health services for immigrant Latinas, but there is little research on the effectiveness of virtual interventions to reduce PPD symptoms. Mothers and Babies is an evidence-based group intervention based on principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy and attachment theory aimed at PPD prevention. Mothers and Babies was adapted for delivery via a virtual group format (Mothers and Babies Virtual Group; MB-VG), with a pilot study suggesting good feasibility and acceptability as well as improved mental health outcomes for immigrant Latinas. The proposed project is a Type 1 Effectiveness-Implementation randomized controlled trial among pregnant individuals and new mothers at risk for PPD based on elevated depressive symptoms and/or other established risk factors who are enrolled in early childhood programs across Maryland. A total of 300 women will be enrolled; 150 will receive MB-VG while 150 will receive usual family support services. The project aims to evaluate: 1) the effectiveness of MB-VG to reduce depressive symptoms, prevent onset of PPD, and improve parenting self-efficacy and responsiveness; 2) implementation of MB-VG; and 3) contextual factors influencing MB-VG effectiveness and implementation. Trained early childhood center staff will deliver MB-VG sessions, with intervention participants receiving virtual group sessions via Zoom using any electronic device (smartphone, tablet, laptop). Maternal self-report surveys are conducted at baseline, 1 week, 3 months, and 6 months post-intervention, with structured clinical interviews also conducted at 3- and 6-months post-intervention. The study is the first to deliver a virtual PPD preventive intervention to immigrant Latinas and to evaluate its impact. Given its virtual delivery modality, MB-VG can be easily replicated and scaled to other family support programs and settings serving immigrant Latinas. If effective and implemented broadly, more immigrant Latinas will receive mental health services and fewer will suffer the negative consequences associated with PPD.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of BRII-297 in healthy adult subjects. The main aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability after single dose intramuscular administration of BRII-297. The study also aims at characterizing the PK profiles of BRII-297 and brexanolone after single dose intramuscular administration. Participants will be enrolled in 6 cohorts (3 planned and 3 optional) with 6 participants per cohort [(4 active: 2 placebo) - Cohorts 1 & 2] and 10 participants per cohort [(8 active: 2 placebo) - Cohorts 3 to 6]. Randomization for each cohort will be a two-step process. Sentinel subjects for each cohort will include 2 female subjects randomized 1:1 to BRII-297 or placebo who will be observed for at least 24 hours to ensure no significant safety events before administering study drug to the remaining non-sentinel subjects. The estimated total duration for each subject is up to 43 days, including screening period (28 days), dosing period (1 day), and post-dose follow-up period (14 days). IM injections will be administered in the gluteal muscle. Each participant in all cohorts will begin their inpatient stay at the clinical investigational site on Day -1 and remain as an inpatient at the site for sample collection and assessments for 15 days post dose (Day 15). Participants will be released at the end of the inpatient period.
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of live lullaby from mother voice, and breast milk smell on pyhsiological parameters, comfort and maternal attachment levels of preterm newborns who are between 35-37 weeks of gestation at the time of the study and the level of pospartum depression of mothers. The main hypothesis are: H0: The live lullaby from mother voice and breast milk smell have no effects on pyhsiological parameters, comfort and maternal attachment levels of preterm newborns H1: The live lullaby from mother voice has effects on pyhsiological parameters, comfort and maternal attachment levels of preterm newborns H2: The breast milk smell has effects on pyhsiological parameters, comfort and maternal attachment levels of preterm newborns H3: There is differences between the live lullaby from mother voice and the breast milk smell interventions in terms of preterm newborns' physiological parameters, comfort and maternal attachment levels. H4: The postpartum depression level of mothers in experimental groups (lullaby group and breast milk group) is lower than the control group. Participants will be in three groups according to the interventions. The preterm newborns who are going to listen a live lullaby from their mothers' voice will be the first group (Lullaby group). The preterms in the second group (Breast milk group) are going to smell their mothers' breast milk. The preterms in the third group (Control group) are going to recieve rutin nursing care interventions.
The study investigates the effectiveness of the mindfulness-based intervention "Mindful with your Baby" in women with babies between 5-9 months postpartum who experience heightened levels of postpartum depression, anxiety and/or parental stress. The intervention "Mindful with your Baby" is one of the very few interventions for maternal postnatal mental health issues that takes the bond between mother and infant into account. It is hypothesized that the "Mindful with your Baby" intervention will reduce levels of postpartum depression, anxiety and parental stress, and improve mother-infant behavioral interaction and increase neural synchrony between mother and infant brains.
Postpartum depression is a common psychological abnormality during the puerperium, which seriously affects maternal and neonatal health. Esketamine, the S-enantiomer of ketamine, is twice as potent as ketamine and can be safely used for cesarean section and labor analgesia. However, it is not clear whether esketamine used for epidural labor analgesia can significantly reduce the incidence of postpartum depression. This study intends to explore the incidence of maternal prenatal depression and to investigate the effect of esketamine for epidural labor analgesia on postpartum depression and maternal and neonatal outcomes in parturients with prenatal depression through a multi-center, large-scale and high-quality clinical trail, in order to provide a clinical basis and theoretical basis for the application of esketamine used for epidural labor analgesia in postpartum depression and further reduce the incidence of postpartum depression, promote maternal and infant health, and ensure maternal and infant safety .
This study is a multicenter, open-label, single-arm Phase 2 clinical trial. Approximately 15 female participants with clinically diagnosed postpartum depression (PPD) will be included in this study. The participants will receive an individualized dosing regimen (IDR) with at least one and up to three doses of GH001 administered within a single day.
Background: The gestational diabetes mellitus and perinatal depression are both global public health issues with high prevalence. Non-perinatal diabetes mellitus and depression are confirmed to have reciprocal influence, which is bidirectional relationship. However, there are still no any confirmations of relationship in the perinatal period. The reason could be that these kinds of studies mostly had been done for postpartum depression, they had rarely been discussed with a clearly sequential influence between gestational diabetes mellitus and perinatal depression. Additionally, there have not been so many Asian countries which been done this kind of studies, therefore, this study will focus on the relationship of primiparous gestational diabetes mellitus and perinatal depression. Purpose: This study will discuss the bidirectional relationship of gestational diabetes mellitus and perinatal depression. In the other words, the prenatal depression influences on gestational diabetes mellitus, and vice versa. Those changeable factors, such as social support, health behavior, prenatal body index, weight gain during pregnancy, perinatal complications…etc, will be tested for whether they could be regulators or not between the gestational diabetes mellitus and perinatal depression.Afterwards, a part of participants with diagnosis of gestational diabetes mellitus will receive the intervention of health education to influence the health behavior, then depression and other obstetrics and gynecological results will be tested for effects.
The goal of this longitudinal study is to study the effects of a parenting skills group (Circle of Security Parenting, aka COSP) in mothers with postpartum depression. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Will changes in methylation of the OXTR rs53576 be apparent in mother and/or infant after having gone through the 8-week COSP program? - Will COSP participation be associated with improved symptoms of postpartum depression (over and above standard care), attachment style, and relational characteristics of the mother-infant dyad? - Will COSP participation be associated with changes in social behavior in the infant, and if so, do they persist throughout childhood? Participants will - Participate in an 8-week COSP program delivered remotely via Zoom. - Provide buccal swabs (mother and infant) to assess changes in methylation of OXTR rs53576 pre- versus post-intervention. - Complete a series of assessment questionnaires delivered remotely. - Videotape a play-based assessment in their home. - Receive infant developmental testing Researchers will compare characteristics of waitlist controls to those participating in the COSP program at the mid-way point of the program to see if the two groups differ.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether an established preventive intervention (group interpersonal therapy) delivered virtually shows the same benefits for preventing postpartum depression as it does when delivered in person.
