NCT ID NCT06718907

First seen Feb 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study looks at how stress affects pregnant women and whether practicing stress management techniques can lower stress levels. Researchers will measure stress using saliva samples before and after women practice these techniques at home. The goal is to develop models that assess how social factors and chronic stress impact pregnancy, and find ways to reduce stress in women from different backgrounds. The study is currently recruiting 50 women who are at least 24 weeks pregnant and between 21 and 37 years old.

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward simple stress-reduction methods to help pregnant women lower stress and potentially reduce pregnancy complications.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study with only 50 participants. It measures short-term stress changes, not long-term health outcomes, so results may not apply broadly.
