The North American Antiepileptic Drug Pregnancy Registry

The North American Antiepileptic Drug Pregnancy Registry The North American AED Pregnancy Registry is dedicated to determine the safety of anticonvulsant med

The North American Antiepileptic Drug (AED) Pregnancy Registry is studying the effects of anticonvulsant medications in pregnancy. It was established in 1997 for pregnant women in the United States and Canada at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, MA. It is the first hospital-based registry established to determine the safety of seizure medications that can be taken by women during pregnancy. We are very grateful to the 10,200 women who have enrolled so far. Our studies involve phone interviews with participating patients. No needles, no medications, and no changes to a woman's routine are required. The information they provide during the course of their pregnancy provides future support to women diagnosed with epilepsy, mood disorder or chronic pain.

There is so much to consider during a pregnancy.

“I chose to participate because there is still a real lack of data when it comes to seizure medications and pregnancy…
I want women with epilepsy to feel empowered to care for themselves while making choices about their futures and for their families and not feel that they have to choose between managing their epilepsy and becoming a mother.

With good quality data, they can feel confident they are doing the right thing for themselves and their baby. “

Our participants say it best: ” Before getting pregnant I used the Registry’s research to help me choose the best drug to transition to for me and my family… I’m so glad I participated to help women in the same situation I was. Our baby boy is happy and healthy and we couldn’t ask for anything else.”

The need for prescription drugs doesn’t end once you become pregnant. Our registry strives to understand which are OK to take while pregnant. Your participation can help. Learn more: https://ow.ly/ybKf50WrtBs

If you are pregnant, please consider joining our voluntary pregnancy registry.

A few phone calls is all it takes.

No changes to your routines.

Our data gets better with every enrollment. If you have participated in the past and are pregnant again we would love to enroll you a second, or third…or seventh (for real) time. You can enroll at any time during your pregnancy. It’s never too late.

We need controls too. If you have friends or relatives who are pregnant we would love for them to participate also.

A few phone interviews is all it takes. Learn more: https://ow.ly/Hr1650Wrsus
