Neurological symptoms after childbirth may be related to obstetric or anesthetic factors.

The findings may inform future research by highlighting variation in methodology, reporting practices and terminology. Thereby indicating areas where more consistent approaches to neurological assessment, exposure reporting, and attribution of obstetric and anesthetic factors are needed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/aas.70313","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,4]],"date-time":"2026-08-04T07:45:52Z","timestamp":1785829552000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Nerve Injury Following Birth, the Role of Epidural Analgesia\u2014A Protocol for a Scoping Review"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"70","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-9177-9935","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Louise Mathilde Loft","family":"Sakhat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Anaesthesia Critical and Emergency Care Science Unit and Department of Anaesthesiology Herlev Hospital  Herlev Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amanda Prip","family":"Dohn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anaesthesia Critical and Emergency Care Science Unit and Department of Anaesthesiology Herlev Hospital  Herlev Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7682-1353","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bo","family":"Biering\u2010S\u00f8rensen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Health and Medical Science University of Copenhagen  Copenhagen Denmark"},{"name":"Movement Disorder Clinic, Neuropathic Pain and CRPS Clinic Spasticity Clinic, Movement Disorder and Pain Research Center Spasticity Clinic, Movement Disorder and Pain Research Center Rigshospitalet  Glostrup Denmark"},{"name":"Neurological Department Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet Glostrup  Copenhagen Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8371-2326","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kenneth Geving","family":"Andersen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesia and Intensive Care Hvidovre Hospital, University of Copenhagen  Copenhagen Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4765-1447","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Line","family":"Thellesen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Health and Medical Science University of Copenhagen  Copenhagen Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Anesthesia and Intensive Care Hvidovre Hospital, University of Copenhagen  Copenhagen Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7084-9200","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kim","family":"Wildgaard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Anaesthesia Critical and Emergency Care Science Unit and Department of Anaesthesiology Herlev Hospital  Herlev Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Clinical Medicine, Faculty of Health and Medical Science University of Copenhagen  Copenhagen Denmark"},{"name":"Department of Pregnancy and Childbirth Herlev University Hospital  Herlev Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajog.2022.06.017"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12688\/f1000research.11130.1"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1753495X221146329"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","unstructured":"Mayo Clinic Staff \u201cMayo Clinic \u2013 Peripheral nerve injuries \u201daccessed December 6 2025 https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases\u2010conditions\/peripheral\u2010nerve\u2010injuries\/symptoms\u2010causes\/syc\u201020355631."},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/aogs.14441"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1213\/ANE.0000000000000452"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/aln.0000000000000253"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","volume-title":"Complications of Obstetric Epidural Analgesia and Anaesthesia: A Prospective Analysis of 10 995 Cases","author":"Paech M.
