Bone Health During Pregnancy in Women With Epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how epilepsy and epilepsy medications affect bone health during pregnancy and after delivery. Researchers want to understand how to keep bones strong while you're pregnant and taking seizure medications, which can sometimes weaken bones.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have been diagnosed with epilepsy (either focal seizures from one brain area or generalized seizures)
- You are a woman aged 18 or older who is planning to become pregnant or already pregnant (less than 16 weeks along, confirmed by period or ultrasound)
- You are expecting a single baby, not multiples
