NCT ID: NCT04043572 Recruiting - Epilepsy Clinical Trials

The Biomarkers of Neurological Disease in Utero Study

BONDING
Start date: June 1, 2019
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) are potent teratogens associated with a spectrum of physical and neurodevelopmental anomalies to the exposed fetus. Particular risks include congenital malformations, impaired motor and cognitive functioning, autism and poorer educational attainment. Fetal exposure to drugs that bind to central nervous system targets as part of their therapeutic effect (e.g. neurotransmitter receptors and neuronal channels) appear to alter brain structure and function in both animal models and humans. Fetal magnetic resonance imaging offers an approach to investigate these effects in vivo, identifying biomarkers, defining the onset of abnormalities and dose response. Fetal MRI may offer risk stratification and identify patients that may benefit from intervention early in development. The overall aim of this study is to contribute to improving developmental outcomes following the inevitable exposure during treatment of maternal epilepsy. This novel study aims to explore the central nervous system with state-of-the-art non-invasive multimodal magnetic resonance imaging consistent with the University of Nottingham Precision Imaging Beacon, so as to improve outcomes in patients at risk of long term complex neuropsychiatric conditions.

NCT ID: NCT03315637 Recruiting - Hydrocephalus Clinical Trials

Fetal Endoscopic Surgery for Spina Bifida

FESSB
Start date: January 2015
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study aims to assess the feasibility to perform a fetoscopic prenatal repair of an open neural tube defect, and secondly to assess the maternal, fetal and neonatal outcomes.
