NCT ID: NCT04566861

Last Updated: 2024-11-20

Results Overview

Differences in levels of peripheral inflammatory markers and change in these markers across time (trimester 1 (T1), trimester 2 (T2), trimester 3 (T3) and postpartum (PP)) between anxious and healthy women, and between intervention and control women. Markers include IFNgamma, IL6, IL8, IL10, IL12p70, TNFalpha, IL17A, TARC, MIP1alpha, MCP4, Eotaxin

Anxious Pregnant Women - Intervention Group
100 pregnant women who have at least mild anxiety will be randomized to the intervention group where they will receive six one-on-one core sessions of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy during pregnancy (plus possible booster sessions) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety during pregnancy: Women who are randomized to the intervention group will receive six core Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) sessions for anxiety during pregnancy (and possible booster sessions) to treat symptoms of anxiety.
Anxious Pregnant Women - Enhanced Usual Care Group
100 pregnant women who have at least mild anxiety will be randomized to the enhanced usual care group. They will not receive intervention sessions but will receive transportation vouchers to come to the hospital and facilitation by study staff to attend to their regular antenatal care visits.
Non-anxious Pregnant Women - Healthy Control
100 pregnant women who do not have symptoms of anxiety or depression be followed in the healthy control group. They will not receive intervention sessions but will receive transportation vouchers to come to the hospital and facilitation by study staff to attend to their regular antenatal care visits.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: trimester 2, trimester 3, 6 weeks postpartum

Population: trimester 2, trimester 3, 6 weeks postpartum

Measure differences in level of allopregnanolone (mean) at each time point and across time (trimester 1 (T1), trimester 2 (T2), trimester 3 (T3) and postpartum (PP)) between anxious women and healthy women, and between intervention and control. The results are measured by log-transformed values of the concentration of each cytokine in the plasma, in ng/mL (nanogram per milliliter).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Trimester 2

Population: Trimester 2. The numbers of analyzed data is lower than the overall number since not every women who had ALLO had also data available for PPD.

Differences in allopregnanolone levels at the second trimester between women who do and do not go on to develop postpartum depression (PPD). The results are measured by log-transformed values of the concentration of allopregnanolone in the plasma, in ng/ml (nanogram per milliliter. Women who have Allopregnanolone (ALLO) levels and developed PPD are analyzed.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: at birth

Population: The number analyzed is different than the overall number because data was not collected.

Differences in birth outcomes (preterm birth, small for gestational age, low birth weight) between women with high inflammatory markers vs. those low in inflammatory markers, and also between anxious and healthy women.

Measure
Anxious Pregnant Women - Intervention Group
n=26 Participants
100 pregnant women who have at least mild anxiety will be randomized to the intervention group where they will receive six one-on-one core sessions of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy during pregnancy (plus possible booster sessions) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety during pregnancy: Women who are randomized to the intervention group will receive six core Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) sessions for anxiety during pregnancy (and possible booster sessions) to treat symptoms of anxiety.
Anxious Pregnant Women - Enhanced Usual Care Group
n=31 Participants
100 pregnant women who have at least mild anxiety will be randomized to the enhanced usual care group. They will not receive intervention sessions but will receive transportation vouchers to come to the hospital and facilitation by study staff to attend to their regular antenatal care visits.
Non-anxious Pregnant Women - Healthy Control
n=60 Participants
100 pregnant women who do not have symptoms of anxiety or depression be followed in the healthy control group. They will not receive intervention sessions but will receive transportation vouchers to come to the hospital and facilitation by study staff to attend to their regular antenatal care visits.
