Description
Lene von Kappelgaard, Elisabeth Framke, Ditte Vassard and colleagues used Danish registry data to check whether fertility treatment raises relapse risk in women with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis in 2025. The study followed 162 women who began assisted reproduction between 1995 and 2018.
Relapse rates did not rise: the annualised rate was 0.17 in the year before treatment and stayed at 0.17 three months after starting, easing to 0.13 at nine months. Women who stayed on disease-modifying therapy showed a small, non-significant uptick at three months. Those with active disease before treatment may still face higher risk. The findings are broadly reassuring for women planning fertility care.
