A Randomized Controlled Intervention Study: The Effect of Expressive Writing on Psychosocial Stress and Pregnancy Results With Couples Undergoing In Vitro Fertility(IVF) Treatment Due to Involuntary Childlessness.

University of Aarhus·interventional·Posted Aug 23, 2010·Updated Jun 16, 2021

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Expressive writing and Active ctrl for Infertility. Completed, enrolled 298 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Many couples experience involuntary childlessness and seek treatment at fertility clinics. Going through treatment procedures can be very challenging, time consuming and emotionally demanding. Psychosocial intervention might have a soothing and healing effect on both behavior as well on physical matters. Hence, the investigators would like to investigate whether Expressive Writing Intervention (EWI) has an effect on stress management as well as on the pregnancy rate for couples who are going through fertility treatment.
