Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to find out the effect of pelvic floor rehab combined with ultrasound have effect in chronic perineal pain subjects associated with osteomyoarticular symptoms .

Description:

Chronic perineal pain is the anorectal and perineal pain without underlying organic disease, anorectal or endopelvic, which has been excluded by careful physical examination, radiological and endoscopic investigations. So, perineal and vaginal pain after vaginal delivery has been associated with tissue trauma related to operative vaginal delivery, perineal laceration, and episiotomy.

Studies assessing chronic pain after vaginal delivery report 2% to 10% of women with pain at six months and later, almost exclusively in mothers who had an assisted vaginal birth. Postpartum pain intensity is usually higher when it is related to vaginal delivery than to cesarean delivery and more severely affects the woman's quality of life and mood.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Assessment of osteomyoarticular symptoms	It will be assessed before and after the end of treatment for each participant in both groups using Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ), an instrument characterized by multiple or binary choices facing osteomyoarticular symptoms in various anatomical regions that these symptoms appear more frequently, and a questionnaire that has good reliability (Legault et al., 2014).	6 weeks
Primary	Assessment of perineal pain intensity	It will be assessed before and after the end of treatment for each participant in both groups through the visual analouge scale (VAS). It is a 10-cm horizontal line on which the patient's pain intensity was represented by a point between the extremes of "no pain at all" and "worst pain imaginable". Its simplicity, reliability and validity, as well as its ratio scale properties, make the VAS the optimal tool for describing pain intensity. Each participant will be asked to mark a point on the VAS line between the extremes that related to her perineal intensity. Then, the centimeters will be measured in each time from the left end of the line to the marked point to obtain the VAS score for perineal pain intensity	6 weeks
Secondary	Assessment of pelvic floor muscle strength	It will be assessed before and after the end of treatment for each participant in both groups by Kegel perineometer	6 weeks
Secondary	Assessment of pelvic floor muscle tightness	It will be assessed before and after the end of treatment for each participant in both groups by the manual pelvic floor muscle examination	6 weeks
Secondary	Assessment of lumbar spine mobility	It will be assessed before and after the end of treatment for each participant in both groups by the modified Schober test	6 weeks
