Abstract:
Women can develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in response to experienced or perceived traumatic, often medically complicated, childbirth; U.S. prevalence of these events remains high. Currently, no recommended treatment exists in routine care for preventing or mitigating maternal childbirth-related PTSD (CB-PTSD). We provide a systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials testing any therapy to prevent or treat CB-PTSD.
