Clinical Trial Summary

A large percentage of women suffer low back and pelvic pain both during and after pregnancy. There are several factors to which these complaints are attributed, even affecting their daily lives. It is identified that many of these women do not receive adequate health care, however, different physiotherapeutic interventions are recommended to alleviate these conditions, presenting moderate levels of evidence. Virtual reality (VR) is presented as a complementary and promising treatment method to physiotherapy for the improvement of fundamental variables such as perceived pain and pain avoidance. The main objective is to evaluate the efficacy of a combined VR and physiotherapy program of 4 weeks duration compared to a standard physiotherapy intervention in pregnant women with low back pain and pelvic pain for the improvement of pain avoidance, pain intensity, disability and functional level. As a secondary objective the investigators propose to investigate patient satisfaction with the VR intervention. This research will be carried out by means of a multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial in pregnant patients residing in the provinces of Seville and Malaga with a diagnosis of low back pain and pelvic pain during pregnancy. The alternative hypothesis of this research is that the implementation of a Virtual Reality program together with standard physiotherapy in pregnant patients with low back and pelvic pain presents better clinical results obtained with the current standard intervention, which may represent an opportunity to define new policies and interventions for these pathologies and their consequences.
