NCT ID NCT07200323
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study will measure how many women at a high-risk pregnancy clinic experience postpartum depression. Researchers will use a standard questionnaire called the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) to screen 100 women who gave birth 4 weeks to 6 months ago. The goal is to find out how common PPD is in this group and whether routine screening can be easily added to regular care.
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 show that routine screening for postpartum depression is practical and help identify women who need support.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study with only 100 participants at one clinic, so results may not apply to all women. It does not test a treatment.
