CODEPAD-III (Collaborative Outcomes of DEpression and Pain Associated With Delivery-III) (CODEPAD-III)

12 de agosto de 2026 actualizado por: Sng Ban Leong, KK Women's and Children's Hospital

Collaborative Psychological Model for Management of Postnatal Depression and Persistent Postpartum Pain After Childbirth: CODEPAD-III (Collaborative Outcomes of DEpression and Pain Associated With Delivery-III)

The childbirth process is associated with increased risk of having depression and persistent pain which may have adverse effects to mothers and their babies. There is a lack of routine effective programs in current healthcare practice to address, risk stratify and reduce depression and persistent pain after childbirth.

The study site proposes a Collaborative Psychological Model (CPM) consisting of music listening, customized mobile application on psychological strategies, telephone-based support, with monitoring (mobile electronic surveys, wearable-based vital sign monitoring) to effectively prevent, detect, monitor, and treat depression and persistent pain after childbirth. The study will determine if using the CPM will reduce the risk of having depression associated with childbirth. The study will also find out whether the CPM will reduce the depressive symptoms in women who undergo labor that may have increased depression risk. This clinical study will involve 2042 women undergoing childbirth at KK Hospital. In addition, up to 1428 patients' partners (fathers) will also be recruited for the week 8 postpartum assessment.

The study findings will improve healthcare for women in the community by incorporating digital psychological strategies to manage depression and persistent pain after childbirth. The CPM will also guide future directions to customize an individual's healthcare needs and to improve transition from hospital to community care for women after childbirth.

Descripción general del estudio

Descripción detallada

Postnatal depression (PND) represents a substantial burden, contributing to adverse outcomes for mothers, their infants, and families. The global incidence of PND has been reported to be about 17%, with Southeast Asia countries having a pooled incidence of 22%. Established risk factors include the severity of pain experienced during childbirth, analgesic techniques employed, and underlying psychological vulnerabilities.

Cesarean delivery, especially emergency Cesarean delivery, has been associated with an increased risk of PND. Childbirth often results in substantial tissue trauma, which may lead to persistent postpartum pain (PPP) that affects up to 20% of women globally. Both PND and PPP could contribute to a significant socioeconomic burden and diminished quality of life. Non-pharmacological interventions have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing depression and pain in postpartum women, as well as in populations with depression, and chronic pain. However, it remains uncertain whether delivering these interventions as part of a structured Collaborative Psychological Model (CPM) can effectively reduce the incidence of both PND and PPP. Currently, there is a lack of standardized and effective programs, with high risk PND stratification, addressing these outcomes in routine clinical care.

The proposed CPM in this study addresses these gaps through electronic surveys and mobile apps that enable mothers to manage their mental health without reliance on pharmacological therapy in a comfortable and private manner. By integrating multiple evidence-based interventions into a single program, we aim to leverage upon their individual efficacies and achieve a synergistic effect to improve outcomes related to PND and PPP.

Armas e Intervenciones

Grupo de participantes/brazo
Intervención / Tratamiento
Experimental: Collaborative Psychological Model (CPM) group
Patients are assigned to have mindfulness training through customised mobile app on psychological strategies, and music listening before discharge from hospital until week 8 postpartum. Telephone-based support will be offered if patient is found to have Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) equal to or more than 10 (low risk of postnatal depression), or all patients of high risk of postnatal depression. Patients will receive a wearable device to monitor heart rate variability, sleep patterns, activity metrics (steps, distance, calories) from delivery until week 8 postpartum. Questionnaires on psychological and pain assessments will be administered before and after delivery, with the final time point being week 8 postpartum.

Participants assigned to the interventional arm will receive the following psychological therapies:

  1. Participants will be provided with a 2-month Spotify subscription for music listening for at least 30 minutes daily until week 8 postpartum follow-up survey. Data on the duration of music listening, preferred genres, and patient satisfaction will be collected at week 8 postpartum.
  2. A customized mobile app incorporating artificial-intelligence-powered chatbot for personalized support, in-app guidance on mindfulness exercises, coping strategies with pain and mood, and educational resources will be provided to patients for use from after delivery till week 8 postpartum.
  3. Telephone-based support session by a team of assigned research coordinators will be offered for all patients with high risk of postnatal depression; or patients with low risk of postnatal depression and having Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) ≥ 10, throughout the fortnightly EPDS monitoring.
Patients will receive a wearable device to monitor heart rate variability, sleep patterns, activity metrics (steps, distance, calories) from delivery until week 8 postpartum. Questionnaires on psychological and pain assessments will be administered before and after delivery, with the final time point being week 8 postpartum.

Medidas de resultado primarias

Medida de resultado
Medida Descripción
Periodo de tiempo
The incidence of postnatal depression in both groups
Periodo de tiempo: 8 weeks after delivery (2 months)
Incidence of postnatal depression will be assessed via Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) score at week 8 postpartum. EPDS is a 10-item self reporting scale to evaluate the postnatal depression. Participants are asked to respond according to how they have felt in the past seven days. Each item is measured on a 4-point scale (0-3), with a total score in the range of 0 to 30. A higher total score indicates a greater degree of depressive symptoms. A score of 10 and above indicates clinically significant depressive symptoms.

Medidas de resultado secundarias

Medida de resultado
Medida Descripción
Periodo de tiempo
Autoeficacia en lactancia materna en ambos grupos
Periodo de tiempo: 8 semanas después del parto (2 meses)
La autoeficacia de la lactancia materna se evaluará mediante la escala abreviada de autoeficacia de la lactancia materna (BSES-SF). La autoeficacia para amamantar se refiere a la confianza y la percepción de una madre sobre qué tan bien puede amamantar a su bebé. El BSES-SF autoadministrado de 14 ítems viene en una escala tipo Likert de 5 puntos donde 1 indica nada seguro y 5 indica siempre seguro. Las puntuaciones se suman para producir un rango de 14 a 70, donde las puntuaciones más altas indican niveles más altos de autoeficacia en la lactancia.
8 semanas después del parto (2 meses)
Vínculo posparto en ambos grupos
Periodo de tiempo: 8 semanas después del parto (2 meses)
El vínculo posparto se evaluará mediante el Cuestionario de vínculo posparto (PBQ). Consta de 25 ítems en cuatro subescalas: i) vinculación deteriorada; ii) rechazo e ira; iii) ansiedad por el cuidado; y iv) riesgo de abuso. Los ítems se basan en una escala de Likert que va de 0 (siempre) a 5 (nunca), con una puntuación total que va de 0 a 125, donde las puntuaciones más bajas del PBQ se asocian con un mejor vínculo madre-hijo.
8 semanas después del parto (2 meses)
Estado de salud en ambos grupos
Periodo de tiempo: 8 semanas después del parto (2 meses)
El estado de salud se evaluará a través de EQ-5D-5L, un instrumento estandarizado para medir el estado de salud genérico. Está compuesto por dos componentes; descripción y evaluación del estado de salud. El estado de salud se mide en términos de cinco dimensiones (5D); movilidad, autocuidado, actividades habituales, dolor/malestar y ansiedad/depresión; cada dimensión que va desde 1-5 (5L). A partir de estas cinco dimensiones se calcula el índice EQ-5D, que tiene un valor entre 0-1. La parte de evaluación involucra una escala análoga, solicitando marcar el estado de salud el día de la encuesta en una escala vertical de 20 cm con puntos finales de 0 y 100. Cero corresponde al "peor estado de salud imaginable", y cien corresponde al "mejor estado de salud imaginable".
8 semanas después del parto (2 meses)
The incidence of persistent postpartum pain (PPP) in both groups
Periodo de tiempo: 8 weeks after delivery (2 months)
The incidence of PPP is defined as the presence of pain for 8 weeks at the perineal, surgical scar or abdominal region related to childbirth at week 8 postpartum.
