NCT ID NCT05887115

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study tested whether a program called Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) could help pregnant women who already had a child. The program involved regular visits from a nurse to support the mother's health, pregnancy, and child development. The trial enrolled 23 women and aimed to measure outcomes like pregnancy complications, tobacco use, and child language skills. However, the study was terminated early, so the results are limited and not conclusive.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that nurse home visits help high-risk mothers with previous children have healthier pregnancies and better child development.

What could go wrong

The trial was terminated early with only 23 participants, so results are very limited. It is a small, early-stage study, and findings may not apply broadly.
