Pregnant women with undiagnosed anxiety could benefit from a new digital therapy, according to a clinical trial led by King's College London. Published in JAMA Network Open, the results from the REducing Levels of AnXiety (RELAX) study have shown that self-led digital therapy significantly reduced participants' pre- and post-birth anxiety compared with participants who received usual care.
