Effectiveness of Cognitive Processing Therapy in Reducing Post-traumatic Symptoms and Enhancing Birth Outcomes in Pregnant Women With a Previous Pregnancy Loss or Complication
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of experiencing a previous pregnancy
loss or complication on current physiological and emotional aspects of a current pregnancy.
This study will assess the effectiveness of cognitive processing therapy (CPT) or cognitive
behavioral therapy (CBT) among women who are experiencing symptoms of post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD) and/or anxiety relating to a previous pregnancy loss or complication.
Lastly, this study includes an option to participate in a procedure whereas startle response
will be measured using the eyeblink reflex twice during pregnancy and once in the postpartum
period. Startle response is examined using a standard acoustic startle procedure whereby
heart rate, skin temperature and eye blinking reflex are measured.
