NCT ID NCT06711666
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at 174 mothers whose babies were diagnosed with serious heart defects before birth. Researchers will track the mothers' mental health from the third trimester until the baby is one year old, and then test the babies' brain development. The goal is to understand if a mother's stress, anxiety, or depression during pregnancy affects how her child's brain grows after heart surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help identify ways to support mothers' mental health during pregnancy to improve brain development in children with heart defects.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly test any intervention, so results may only suggest associations, not causes.
