Abstract

Fertility treatment, including assisted reproductive technology (ART), is increasingly used. Sex hormones influence seizure control as well as interacting with antiseizure medications, and so the hormonal manipulation involved in fertility treatments has direct implications for people with epilepsy. Here, we summarise the various fertility treatments and consider their important influences on epilepsy care. While early observations raised concerns about seizure exacerbation associated with ART, there are limited data to guide best practice in people with epilepsy, and further research is needed.

癫痫患者的生育治疗。

生育治疗，包括辅助生殖技术（ART）的使用越来越多。性激素会影响癫痫发作的控制，并与抗癫痫药物相互作用，因此生育治疗中涉及的激素操纵对癫痫患者有直接影响。在此，我们总结了各种生育治疗方法，并考虑它们对癫痫护理的重要影响。虽然早期的观察结果引起了人们对与抗逆转录病毒疗法相关的癫痫发作加重的担忧，但用于指导癫痫患者最佳实践的数据很有限，因此还需要进一步的研究。

期刊介绍： The essential point of Practical Neurology is that it is practical in the sense of being useful for everyone who sees neurological patients and who wants to keep up to date, and safe, in managing them. In other words this is a journal for jobbing neurologists - which most of us are for at least part of our time - who plough through the tension headaches and funny turns week in and week out. Primary research literature potentially relevant to routine clinical practice is far too much for any neurologist to read, let alone understand, critically appraise and assimilate. Therefore, if research is to influence clinical practice appropriately and quickly it has to be digested and provided to neurologists in an informative and convenient way.
