Mindfulness-Based Intervention for Treatment of Anxiety Disorders During the Postpartum Period: A 4-Week Proof-of-Concept Randomized Controlled Trial Protocol
Overview
This protocol outlines a proof-of-concept randomized controlled trial evaluating a 4-week virtual mindfulness-based intervention for postpartum mothers with anxiety disorders. The study compares the intervention plus usual care against usual care alone, measuring changes in anxiety, emotion regulation, and interoception through self-report and functional MRI. It is designed for researchers or clinicians interested in the neural and psychological mechanisms of brief mindfulness treatments during the postpartum period.
