NCT ID NCT06991166
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests two types of talk therapy—cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT)—for postpartum depression in mothers whose babies are in the NICU. About 72 mothers will receive either 4 weeks of one therapy or 8 weeks of both, to see which approach reduces depression symptoms best. The goal is to find more effective ways to help this high-risk group.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could show which type of talk therapy works best for postpartum depression in high-risk mothers, potentially improving treatment options.
