Spinal fluid clues may predict Post-Birth depression
NCT ID NCT06947278
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 200 women having planned C-sections to see if levels of a brain protein called BDNF in their spinal fluid and blood could predict postpartum depression. Researchers measured BDNF before surgery and checked for depression symptoms up to 42 days after birth. The goal was to find a way to identify at-risk mothers early, but this was an observational study, not a treatment.
