What this trial studies

PRISMA is an observational pregnancy registry that collects comprehensive information about pregnancy in women with chronic neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, clinically isolated syndrome, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder, and myasthenia gravis. Participants will provide biosamples, including blood, breast milk, and stool samples, at specific time points, along with completing online surveys. The study aims to develop a repository of samples to gain insights into the relationship between pregnancy, neurological conditions, and maternal and infant health. This includes monitoring maternal outcomes and infant development over time.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include pregnant women or those contemplating pregnancy who have a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, clinically isolated syndrome, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder, or other specified chronic conditions.

Not a fit: Patients who are unwilling to provide informed consent or do not have a chronic condition may not receive any benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance understanding of pregnancy outcomes in women with chronic neurological conditions, potentially leading to improved maternal and infant health strategies.

How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies focusing on pregnancy outcomes in chronic conditions, this specific approach of creating a comprehensive pregnancy registry with biosample collection is relatively novel.
