Effects of prenatal psychotherapies and psychosocial interventions on depressive symptoms, anxious symptoms and stress: a systematic review and network meta-analysis
Overview
This systematic review and network meta-analysis evaluates the efficacy of various prenatal psychotherapies and psychosocial interventions for reducing depressive, anxious, and stress symptoms in perinatal populations. The study synthesizes data from 85 randomized controlled trials to compare outcomes across modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and multicomponent approaches. It is intended for researchers and clinicians interested in evidence-based comparisons of treatment effectiveness during pregnancy.
