Summary

This study looks at whether playing the video game Tetris for 10-15 minutes within 24 hours of an emergency cesarean birth can reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). 120 women who had an emergency C-section will be invited to play Tetris on a Nintendo Switch. Their mental health will be checked 5 days and 1 month later. This is a small feasibility trial to see if the idea works and how to run a larger study.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Tetris computer game
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to help prevent PTSD after traumatic childbirth.
What could go wrong
This is a very early feasibility study with only 120 participants, so results may not be conclusive. The effect may be small or not last long-term.
