The MOMS Spina Bifida Trial Seeks Pregnant Enrollees

The Management of Myelomeningocele Study (MOMS) is a randomized, controlled clinical trial that continues to enroll pregnant women between 19 and 25 weeks' gestation. Funded by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the trial will compare the safety and efficacy of prenatal versus postnatal closure of myelomeningocele. Participating MOMS centers are the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia; Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tenn.; and the University of California at San Francisco.
