NCT ID NCT07407322
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether giving high-risk pregnant women in the emergency room positive, reassuring messages could lower their stress and help them cope with uncertainty. 102 women took part, with one group receiving standard care plus these affirmations and the other only standard care. Researchers measured stress and uncertainty before and after to see if the kind words made a difference.
