What this trial studies

This study aims to assess the ovarian reserve of women diagnosed with multiple sclerosis compared to a control group of healthy women aged 25 to 35. The evaluation will be conducted using Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) levels and Antral Follicle Count (AFC) through ultrasound imaging. The study seeks to determine if multiple sclerosis negatively impacts ovarian reserve, potentially leading to fertility preservation considerations for affected patients. It is a monocentric study conducted at Pellegrin Hospital in Bordeaux.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights into fertility preservation options for women with multiple sclerosis.

How similar studies have gone: Few studies have explored ovarian reserve in multiple sclerosis, and results have been contradictory, indicating this approach is relatively novel.
