Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for Perinatal Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
NCT07060144 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Pregnant women with a primary diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) (PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) score \> 33) will be randomized to receive conventional cognitive processing therapy (CPT) (60-min session once/week for 12 weeks) or massed CPT (mCPT) (an intensive schedule of 12 60-min sessions over 5 days, approximately 2-3 sessions per day) via telemedicine, for treatment of PTSD. The research aims will be three-fold: (1) Evaluate the relative efficacy and tolerability of CPT vs. mCPT for treatment of perinatal PTSD and depression; (2) Determine the effect of CPT upon maternal-infant attachment and interaction; (3) Collect pilot data of obstetric and neonatal outcomes among those receiving the two CPT delivery schedules.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07060144
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07060144 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 60 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Texas at Austin, which has 225 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Pregnancy appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Regular CPT is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT07060144 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Texas. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
