Migraine is generally known to affect mostly women with the peak incidence occurring in the reproductive years. As part of the “Headache and Pain 1 session” at the 7th Congress of the European Academy of Neurology (EAN), Dr. Nirit Lev provided clinical evidence of migraine epidemiology in women during and after pregnancy while considering their characteristics and medical needs. https://ow.ly/ckoj50PUWKP #Migraine #MigraineEpidemiology #PregnancyPostpartum #Postpartum #pregnancy #postpartum #EAN #Headache #Epidemiology

The 9th Congress of the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) took place in July in Budapest, Hungary. With the theme of ‘Neurology Beyond the Big Data’, the four-day meeting offered delegates unique educational opportunities to learn about novel methods to improve the lives of those affected by headache in Europe. Read on to discover some of the key highlights from this congress, including overviews of key industry symposia and selected scientific sessions: https://ow.ly/kTvS50PQB2m #Migraine #Headache #Congress #EAN2023 #EuropeanAcademyofNeurology #NeurologyBeyondtheBigData

Given that multiple sclerosis (MS) disproportionately affects women of reproductive age, fertility, reproductive health, and pregnancy are key topics for discussion among physicians and MS patients considering starting a family. Read this article to learn more about the importance of MS disease stabilisation prior to conception and how this can reduce the risk of relapse and disability progression during and after pregnancy.https://https://lnkd.in/eS_Apsee #MS #DiseaseStabilisation #Relapse #Pregnancy

In the past, women with multiple sclerosis (MS) were discouraged from starting a family due to concerns of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Recent evidence indicates that the frequency of MS relapses may decrease during pregnancy, with the most significant reduction observed during the third trimester. However, an increase in MS relapses is likely to occur immediately post-partum. Breastfeeding exclusively (not mixed with bottle feeding) may reduce the risk of these post-partum relapses, even in women with sub-optimally controlled MS. Watch Professor Kerstin Hellwig share her expert insights on MS in pregnant and breastfeeding women.https://https://lnkd.in/eqND2JqJ #MS #Relapse #Pregnancy #Breastfeeding
