Filter by:The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the safe-use conditions for administration of brexanolone (ZULRESSO®) can be implemented in a home setting.
Investigators will be test the efficacy of Motherly, a smartphone application (app) to treat depression in women with postpartum Depression. The Motherly app offers psychoeducation, mood and anxiety monitoring, several well-established psychological techniques (behavioral activation, cognitive restructuring, emotion regulation, stress management techniques, mindfulness and meditation, sleep hygiene), and helps mothers organize their medical appointments and keep track of their childrens' development. The efficacy of the Motherly app will be tested in a parallel two-arm randomized controlled trial. Participants will be randomly allocated to receive the Motherly app (intervention), or COMVC (active control), a smartphone app that delivers only psychoeducational content related to general mental health.
Women Veterans are the fastest growing segment of VA users. This dramatic growth has created challenges for VA to ensure that appropriate services are available to meet women Veterans' needs, and that they will want and be able to use those services. The EMPOWER QUERI 2.0 Program is a cluster randomized type 3 hybrid implementation-effectiveness trial testing two strategies designed to support implementation and sustainment of evidence-based practices for women Veterans in up to 20 VA facilities from 4 regions.
Postpartum Depression (PPD) is a Major Depressive (MD) Disorder occurring within the 12 months after delivery with negative effects to the mother, the child and the family and an estimated prevalence in Europe of 10-15%. Non-invasive Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) has been suggested to PPD, as it combines antidepressant effects with low risks, being equivalent to pharmacotherapy, and showing faster response than psychotherapy. tDCS uses a weak electric current applied to the scalp, modulating neurons' firing rate and neuroplasticity of cerebral circuits to counteract dysfunctional connectivity and inter-hemispheric imbalance in MD. tDCS portability led to its introduction as a home-based intervention and trials assessing home-based tDCS in MD were successful, proved its feasibility and showed good acceptance and benign effect in patients' self-efficacy. Hence, combining home-based tDCS with eHealth systems to support data collection and teleHealth for remote health care has shown positive results in other neuropsychiatric disorders. To uptake tDCS to PPD, further research is needed. To pursue the needed regulatory steps, current consensus on the primary hypothesis of efficacy is that future phase-III studies must be supported by the identification of biotypes of depression and should include cost-effectiveness analysis to model its economic advantage and inform Health Technology Analysis. 4MUMs, within an iterative user-centred and co-design approach will adopt a combined intervention (home-based tDCS + eHealth system + teleHealth system) for PPD, conduct a dynamic feasibility study of the data collection procedures and intervention, and test these in a single-arm pilot study towards the first large-sample multicentre Phase-III RCT protocol aimed at testing home-based tDCS efficacy in PPD.
Mothers and birthing parents (hereafter referred to as mothers) who have recovered from Postpartum Depression and are well now, receive training to teach a 9 week Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) treatment to mothers who are feeling depressed after giving birth in the last year. Eligible mothers are randomly assigned to one of two groups. Mothers in one group will receive a 9 week group CBT intervention delivered online by the trained Peer facilitators. Mothers in the other group will not receive the CBT group intervention and will continue to receive treatment as usual or regular care for new mothers. Mothers in both groups will complete online questionnaires three times - when participants start the study, nine weeks later and six months after that. Mothers in the intervention group will also complete a few questionnaires once during the intervention and a satisfaction questionnaire at end of intervention. Participant information will help determine if the CBT treatment is helpful for postpartum depression.
The aim of this pilot study is to (1) develop a treatment manual for a 1-Day CBT-Based Workshop for preventing postpartum depression that is acceptable to women; (2) recruit 15 women into a pilot workshop and seek their feedback on content, delivery and assessment procedures; and (3) conduct a small pilot randomized controlled trial (n=60) examining the impact of these workshops on rates of PPD when added to care as usual (CAU) more than CAU alone in addition to a 90-minute information session on PPD.
In terms of postpartum care and depression, follow-up and controls should be continued online in order not to interrupt the follow-up and treatment of women. In this context, in order to prevent the development of postpartum depression and to increase maternal attachment, it is planned to deliver the progressive muscle relaxation exercise and individual health education program that we planned in our study through online applications. This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of online health education and progressive muscle relaxation exercise program on postpartum depression and maternal attachment.The study was planned as a parallel randomized controlled experimental study conducted in a Family Health Center in Ankara, with a single-center, stratified block randomization (parity: primiparous, multiparous; EPDS score: 0-9, 10-30).The number of pregnant women to be included in the study was calculated as 56.Personal Information Form, Prenatal Attachment Scale, Edinburgh Postpartum Depression Scale and Postpartum Attachment Scale will be used to collect data.
The purpose of this investigation is to conduct a randomized trial comparing a web-based Mindful Mood Balance for Moms course without coaching support to waitlist control among pregnant or early parenting women with depression histories.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of a parenting intervention+usual care compared to usual care on postpartum depression and other mental health and parenting outcomes, as well as the feasibility and acceptability of the parenting intervention.
A total of 36 volunteers of postpartum women within 7 days with significant breast engorgement, will be recruited in China Medical University Hospital, Taichung, Taiwan. The participants will be randomly assigned into 3 groups, each of 12 people, namely, routine care group, routine care plus electrical-acupuncture experiment group, and routine care plus transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation group.
