Active clinical trials for "Depression, Postpartum"

Psychosocial factors, including a previous history of depression, recent stressful life events, sleep disturbances during pregnancy, and depression and/or anxiety during pregnancy have been shown to be associated with an increased risk for the development of postpartum depression (PPD). Biological mechanisms underlying the relationships among these psychosocial risk factors for PPD, and the development of PPD, remain unclear. However, evidence from non-perinatal populations suggest that dysregulation in stress-reactive neuroendocrine factors may play a role. The primary objectives of this study are: (1) to assess the feasibility of enrolling second trimester pregnant women, with or without depression histories, into a laboratory-based study protocol which includes a mild psychosocial stressor and the collection of venous blood for the measurement of stress-reactive adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol; (2) to assess the feasibility of retaining participants, for a brief postpartum phone interview, after completion of the second trimester assessments; and (3) to establish proof of concept for measuring group differences, between women with or without depression histories, in second trimester prenatal measures of neuroendocrine stress reactivity, depressive and anxious symptoms, recent stressful life events, and sleep quality.

the target of the research is development of a predictive tool for early identification of women which are at higher risk for development of postpartum depression. the evaluating tools include self portraits and questionnaire during the third trimester of pregnancy. The suggested research aims to evaluate if and how it would be possible to predict the potential for postpartum mood swing disorders in pregnant women while in the third trimester. The later to prevent the mother from enduring such a detrimental experience, which influences the child development, the family as well as the mother's intimate relationship. The aim is to identify indicators to predict such potential, using questionnaires and self-portraits during pregnancy, to allow early intervention and treatment. Early diagnosis and quick treatment of pregnant women or post-partum mothers will allow them a higher level of functioning and may even prevent eventually infant neurological and developmental delays and hardships.

After vaginal delivery, all of the participants will evaluate by using Edinburg depression scale and venous blood sample will obtain. Postpartum depression will consider the result of scale 13 and above according to Turkhish translate. Then leptin, adiponectin and serotonin level will compare between depressed and nondepressed women.

Our aim was to diagnose and initiate early treatment for postpartum depression by detecting the changes of melatonin levels in c-sections with different antesthesia modalities.

Cabergoline is frequently being requested by many postpartum women with a live newborn to suppress lactation. The aim of the study is to investigate which women desire such an intervention, and what side effects they are experiencing.

An Evaluation and Factor Analysis for Maternal Mental Health - The Analytic Study of the Shin Kong Wu Ho-Su Memorial Hospital - Objectives： To construct a screening tool for domestic maternal mental health To expect to find the screening timing for early assessment or intervention of domestic maternal mental health status. To explore the impact of domestic maternal mental health factors.

Postpartum depression (PPD) is a highly prevalent and serious mental health problem and is defined as the most recent episode of depression occurring between four weeks and twelve months after childbirth. PPD has negative effects, which are usually strongest during the first six months and may decrease the quality of mother-child interaction, adversely affecting the child's behavior and emotional and cognitive development, as well as the spouse marital relationship.PPD prevalence is estimated at 10 to 20%. A recent studies among Arab-Bedouin women, reported 31% - 43 of PPD. Aims: To develop and implement a culturally appropriate intervention program by using focus group (FGs) methodology Methods and Research program description: The study includes two phases. First, qualitative study will be conducted by using focus groups (FGs) method and based on the results of this phase we will develop a culturally based program. The second phase will include implementation and evaluation of the effectiveness of a culturally appropriate intervention.

It is recommended by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' Committee on Obstetric Practice that all obstetricians screen each women for postpartum depression and anxiety with a validated instrument. Although much effort is made, the contributing factors still lack in the literature due to its multi-factorial nature and complexity. In addition, the effects of prenatal education classes remain understudied. Therefore, this study aims to demonstrate the prevalence, characteristics and contributing factors of the postpartum depression. In addition, the change in prevalence and characteristics of the postpartum depression among women who had prenatal classes and not will also be assessed.

This is an expanded access program intended to provide access to ZULRESSO™ (brexanolone) injection for the treatment of a limited number of eligible women with postpartum depression during the period prior to commercial availability. Requests for access must be made by a healthcare provider for a specific patient based on a determination with patient that the benefits of treatment outweigh the risks and an assessment of eligibility based on program criteria. Sites with eligible patients must apply and meet requirements for participation in the expanded access program.

This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records
