Clinical Trial Summary

It has not been objectively clarified how the thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) changes the biomechanical adaptations that occur in the lumbopelvic region during pregnancy and whether it is associated with pelvic girdle pain (PGP). Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the biomechanical and viscoelastic properties of TLF, which adapts to the changes in the lumbopelvic region in pregnant women with pelvic girdle pain, and to investigate its relationship with PGP.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Evaluation of biomechanical properties of thoracolumbar fascia Measuring of the stiffness (N/m) of the thoracolumbar fascia (with MyotonPro, Myoton AS, Tallin, Estonia) in the prone position. Measurement the change from baseline stiffness values of Thoracolumbar fascia at 12. week and at 22. week
Primary Evaluation of biomechanical properties of thoracolumbar fascia Measuring of the decrement of the thoracolumbar fascia (with MyotonPro, Myoton AS, Tallin, Estonia) in the prone position. Measurement the change from baseline decrement values of Thoracolumbar fascia at 12. week and at 22. week
Primary Evaluation of biomechanical properties of thoracolumbar fascia Measuring of the tone (Hz) of the thoracolumbar fascia (with MyotonPro, Myoton AS, Tallin, Estonia) in the prone position. Measurement the change from baseline tone values of Thoracolumbar fascia at 12. week and at 22. week
Primary Evaluation of viscoelastic properties of thoracolumbar fascia Measuring of the creep of the thoracolumbar fascia (with MyotonPro, Myoton AS, Tallin, Estonia) in the prone position. Measurement the change from baseline creep values of Thoracolumbar fascia at 12. week and at 22. week
Primary Evaluation of viscoelastic properties of thoracolumbar fascia Measuring of thethe relaxation time (ms) of the thoracolumbar fascia (with MyotonPro, Myoton AS, Tallin, Estonia) in the prone position. Measurement the change from baseline relaxation time values of Thoracolumbar fascia at 12. week and at 22. week
Secondary Determining of painful areas Marking of body chart Baseline
Secondary Evaluation of pain Pain will be evaluated with Visual analog scale (VAS). The VAS is scaled between 0-10 points (0: no pain, 10: most severe pain). Baseline
Secondary Application of PGP diagnostic tests Pelvic Girdle Pain diagnostic tests will be applied. Baseline
Secondary Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire Activity limitation will be evaluated Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire Baseline
Secondary Evaluation of Body Weight Measuring of the Body Weight Measurement the change from baseline body weight (kg) at 12. and 22. weeks.
Secondary Evaluation of Body Mass Index (BMI) BMI (kg/m2) will be calculated as person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters. Measurement the change from baseline BMI values at 12.and 22. weeks
