About this study

Official title: Influence of Obstetric Anesthesia and Analgesia on the Progression of the Disease in Multiple Sclerosis Parturients: Retrospective Cohort Study

Aim of the retrospective study was to evaluate the influence of the labour on the clinical course of the parturients with MS in selected 6 month follow-up interval and to evaluate to possible influence of the different anesthesia/analgesia types on the course of MS.

Read the detailed description

The role of anesthesia in multiple sclerosis (MS) progression remains unclear in spite of few foreign studies. The most frequently afflicted patients by MS are women of childbearing age and influence of anesthesia or obstetric epidural analgesia has only not been investigated in Czech Republic. The study aims to retrospectively compare the further course of the disease of MS in patients who labor between 2004 and 2013 in University Hospital Brno either by caesarean section or vaginally with epidural analgesia , with patients who gave birth spontaneously without anesthesia.The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of the labour on the clinical course of MS and further evaluate the possible influence of the type of anesthesia/analgesia in the peripartal period on the MS progression.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Multiple sclerosis decompensation/progression at 3rd month

    Relapse occurence from labour to 3 months, after delivery was recorded. A relapse was defined as the appearance or worsening of symptoms of neurologic dysfunction lasting more than 24 hours, new lesions on MRI or need of reinforcement in treatment. For disease state after delivery we used dichotomic approach: relapse (at least one) or no relapses.

    Measured: 3 months after labour

  2. Multiple sclerosis decompensation/progression

    Relapse occurence from labour to 6 months after delivery

    Measured: 3 months after labour

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. MS progression and the type of anesthetic method

    MS progression comparison due to the type of anethesia

    Measured: 6 months after labour

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Multiple sclerosis decompensation/progression at 3rd month (time frame: 3 months after labour). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
