Clinical Trial Summary

The rationale for conducting the experiment including quantitative measures and a description of the method of recruitment:

This study provides psycho-educational intervention aimed at raising awareness of post partum Obsessive-Compulsive disorder (OCD) , reducing the intensity of symptoms and increase of self referral to treatment. Various studies report that 1-11% of women after childbirth suffer from OCD. A part of this population suffered from the disorder prior to giving birth and for some this is a first outbreak. This is a psychological disorder characterized by obsessions and compulsions. The disorder can appear or worsen at any time , and is characterized by different content depending on the stage of life. Obsessional thoughts after birth often includes harming the baby which alarms the woman and the surrounding, and affects her ability to care for the baby and develop a beneficial relationship with him. Studies support a bio-psycho-social model of OCD .and that adjustment period and physical changes after childbirth can be create a psychological biological and environmental background, to the development or worsening of OCD in women who suffer from or are prone to the disorder.

The present study deals with psycho-educational information which will be given to women after birth who were identified as susceptible to develop OCD. The information will be delivered in the maternity ward through written and recorded data , and sent through the system Qualtrics 4 weeks after birth. Psycho-education is an important first step in Cognitive Behavioral therapy for OCD and may lead to anxiety reduction and commitment to treatment. The information sent in the study is similar to the information provided at the beginning of standard Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.Women will be recruited from the maternity ward at Lis Maternity Hospital. In order to identify women at risk for OCD, All women in the maternity ward will be asked to fill a short questionnaire. Women found at risk or as suffering from OCD will be invited to participate in the study.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
