What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to determine the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in enhancing psychological, neurological, and hormonal factors in women undergoing In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Participants will attend eight weekly sessions of CBT or receive no intervention, with assessments of anxiety, depression, and coping mechanisms conducted at various points throughout the study. Additionally, neuroendocrine factors such as cortisol and norepinephrine levels will be measured to evaluate the physiological impact of CBT. The study seeks to compare the outcomes of those receiving CBT against a control group to assess its overall effectiveness.

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are women aged 25-42 with primary infertility who are willing to participate and can understand Bahasa Indonesia.

Not a fit: Patients with psychotic disorders will not benefit from this study due to exclusion criteria.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve the mental and hormonal well-being of women undergoing IVF, potentially enhancing their chances of conception.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promising results for CBT in improving psychological outcomes in fertility treatments, suggesting this approach may be beneficial.
