Researchers systematically reviewed and quantitatively assessed clinical trials on preventing Childbirth-Related Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
By Vijay Kumar MalesuAug 30 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study posted to the medRxiv* preprint server, a group of researchers systematically reviewed and quantitatively assessed clinical trials from December 1998 to December 2022 on preventing Childbirth-Related Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder , identifying optimal interventions, timings, and target populations.
Around 5-6% of postpartum women, equating to 240,000 in the U.S. annually, suffer from CB-PTSD, which can severely impact maternal-child bonding and increase infant behavioral and health issues. CB-PTSD has distinctive characteristics that make early intervention plausible. A search was executed across multiple databases, including PubMed and Embase, using specific keywords related to childbirth PTSD and its treatment, and published reviews on CB-PTSD therapies were also consulted.
Study results Out of 33 studies analyzed, 25 were randomized controlled trials , and 8 were non-RCTs. These trials spanned across different prevention stages: three were primary prevention during pregnancy; 19 were secondary preventions post-childbirth but not exceeding one month; and 11 were tertiary preventions after one month post-childbirth, specifically for confirmed or probable CB-PTSD cases.
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy demonstrated positive results when delivered during an infant's hospitalization but mixed results for later interventions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing yielded positive outcomes for immediate and longer post-childbirth interventions.

Researchers uncover early signs in gut bacteria that could predict peanut allergy developmentA new study led by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has revealed key differences in gut bacteria and their metabolic byproducts in infants that may predict the development of peanut allergies by mid-childhood. The findings, published online August 22 in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, could pave the way for new strategies to prevent or treat this increasingly common food allergy.

Wildfire smoke is an increasing threat to Canadians' health, say researchersAir quality in Canada has improved over the past several decades, and Canada's air is among the cleanest in the world. But that progress is threatened by smoke from wildfires, which are becoming more frequent and more intense with climate change.

Researchers find key for transforming cancer cells to muscle in rhabdomyosarcomaFor six years, Professor Christopher Vakoc's lab at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has been on a mission to transform sarcoma cells into regularly functioning tissue cells. Sarcomas are cancers that form in connective tissues such as muscle. Treatment often involves chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation—procedures that are especially tough on kids. If doctors could transform cancer cells into healthy cells, it would offer patients a whole new treatment option—one that could spare them and their families a great deal of pain and suffering.

Researchers study barriers and facilitators to accessing health care in rural MissouriRural Missourians often face more disparities in health outcomes than their urban and suburban counterparts, in part from challenges accessing health care—a problem amplified in recent years by a growing physician shortage. But a new study at the University of Missouri found that health and health care organizations are increasingly offering basic social services, such as transportation, housing, food, and mental health support, as they recognize these services contribute to a person's overall health.

Researchers develop a novel algorithm for mitigating COVID-19 spread in shipsThe COVID-19 pandemic has drastically affected human lives and the global economy. In particular, cruise ship companies around the world are among the worst hit industries, with ships becoming a hotbed of viral infection owing to their confined environment. With the economy slowly recovering in the post COVID-19 period, ship companies hope to return to normal operations by adopting a sustainable management model that prioritizes the health of ship passengers.
