Tocolysis: Present and future treatment options.
Seminars in Perinatology 2017 December
In the United States, the generally accepted indication for tocolytic therapy centers on suppression of preterm labor. This may be in the form of preventative therapy with progesterone in women with prior spontaneous preterm birth or as an acute intervention to suppress established uterine contractions associated with cervical change occurring at less than 37 weeks gestation. This article seeks to apply this perspective to tocolytic therapy. Here, we provide a review of current tocolytic options and what the last decade of discovery has revealed about the regulation of myometrial excitability and quiescence. Moving forward, we must incorporate the emerging molecular data that is amassing in order to develop novel and effective tocolytic therapeutic options to prevent preterm labor and spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB).
