Treatment of Intrapartum Depression Using Non-invasive Photobiomodulation

Start date: November 1, 2021
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Depression during pregnancy can cause fetal and maternal problems such as growth restriction, preterm labor, low birthweight, poor compliance and suicide. Since antidepressant medications have the potential to harm the baby, but since treatment of intrapartum depression is essential to maternal and fetal wellbeing, a non-pharmacological approach would be ideal. This project seeks to apply infrared light noninvasively to depressed patients during pregnancy in order to treat depressive symptoms through alteration of mitochondrial function and modulation of neural cell receptors.
