A new care protocol aims to support pregnant women in disaster zones
NCT ID NCT07058766
First seen Jul 28, 2026 · Last updated Jul 29, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether a structured care protocol can improve the physical and psychological health of pregnant women living in an area hit by a major earthquake. The study includes 43 pregnant women who are earthquake survivors and compares those who receive the protocol with those who do not. Researchers will measure depression, trauma levels, and overall psychosocial health to see if the extra support makes a difference.

- What this could lead to
