Study Summary

This trial will investigate the effects of including eggs in pregnant and lactating women's diets on maternal mental health biomarkers. Data could lead to nutrition education materials in the clinical setting to promote maternal perinatal choline intake.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for pregnant women between 18 to 26 weeks gestation, who have internet access and can use an electronic device. Participants should be willing to eat eggs but not on a vegan diet or allergic to eggs. They must plan to breastfeed, not consume alcohol or drugs during pregnancy, and score lower than 11 on the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests if eating whole liquid eggs (rich in choline) affects mental health in pregnant and lactating women compared with a plant-based egg substitute. It measures choline levels in blood and breastmilk, tracks food intake through logs, and surveys maternal mental health at specific times.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves dietary changes by introducing whole liquid eggs or egg substitutes into participants' diets, potential side effects may include digestive discomfort or allergic reactions for those sensitive to these foods.

"Clinicaltrials.gov discloses that this particular medical trial is no longer recruiting participants, despite being initially posted on December 1st 2022 and edited as recently as November 15th 2022. Fortunately, there are still 1425 other clinical trials currently inviting enrolment."

Answered by AI

What primary goals are being sought after by this research?

"This clinical trial is gauging the efficacy of a dietary intervention, and will last for 120 days. The primary outcome measure is assessing the feasibility/compliance to said diet. Secondary outcomes include measuring breastmilk choline levels with liquid chromatography-stable isotope dilution-multiple reaction monitory mass spectrometry; maternal anxiety using a 31-item perinatal screening scale (maximum score: 93), and stress via Perceived Stress Scale (maximum score: 56)."
