Filter by:The goal of this interventional study is to compare investigate the short-term and long-term effects of 8-week real-time telehealth-based diaphragmatic breathing exercise and pelvic stabilization exercise on pain, disability, and quality of life in postpartum women with pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain.
Symphysis pubic dysfunction is a well-known clinical problem encountered by many females during pregnancy, yet it has not received much attention in the research literature. As pubic symphysis dysfunction at times presents with severe pain while performing day to day activities and also affects significantly on quality of life in antenatal period, but its effective management remains difficult to determine as no standardized treatment protocols are available. This study may add to the growing body of knowledge in the management of SPD, that if the core stability exercise alone or with the pregnancy support belts yield comparable outcomes and if one technique is superior to the other, which should be the alternative choice of therapy.
This study compares sexual function, body image, kinesiophobia and physical activity level in women with and without pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain.
In recent years, due to the popularity of exercise during pregnancy, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that pregnant women should engage in 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, including aerobic exercise or weight training. This can help reduce pregnancy complications (such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, pelvic pain, etc.) and does not increase the risk of miscarriage or premature birth. Pelvic pain during pregnancy is the most troublesome problem for pregnant women, often affecting their daily lives and mental health, leading to the need for long-term use of painkillers and even affecting their daily routine and sleep. Currently, research has also found that exercise during pregnancy can improve pelvic pain during pregnancy and reduce the inconvenience caused by pain in daily life. However, weight training can strengthen spinal stability and reduce lower back pain problems in non-pregnant individuals, but there is currently no research discussing whether weight training for pregnant women can improve pelvic pain during pregnancy, possibly because weight training for pregnant women is not widely accepted by society and is often associated with misconceptions and prejudices. Recent literature synthesis analysis tells us that weight training during pregnancy does not increase the risk of premature birth or miscarriage. Pregnant women in supervised moderate-intensity weight training do not endanger the health of the mother or fetus, and the safety is sufficient. Therefore, we hope to understand the effects and mechanisms of weight training during pregnancy on pelvic pain during pregnancy through this study.
PGP is referred to as a specific form of LBP which occurs isolatedly as well as in combination with lumbar back pain. PGP localized to the anterior or posterior pelvis, most commonly located between the posterior iliac crest and gluteal folds especially around the SI joint. Pelvic girdle pain radiated to the posterior thigh
Urdu version of pelvic girdle questionnaire was drafted, tested for its reliability and validity on patients with pelvic girdle pain. Urdu version was linguistically acceptable and accurate for pregnant and post partum females with pelvic girdle pain. The result seems comparable to all the other versions and especially with original Norwegian version. This instrument is understandable and easy to find disability during pregnancy and post partum duration. It showed a good content, construct and convergent validity also present high internal consistency and test retest reliability.
Pelvic girdle pain is the frequently occuring pregnancy-related musculoskeletal condition.It is defined as the pain experienced between the posterior iliac crest and the gluteal region, particularly in the sacroiliac joint.This condition is associated with difficulties in activities of daily life such as standing, walking, working and sleeping hence affecting the quality of life.Various management strategies including antenatal exercises, sacro iliac joint belt, kinesiotaping, sacro iliac joint mobilization etc are used for treating the pelvic girdle pain.Different studies have shown the positive results of antenatal exercises, sacro iliac joint belt and kinesiotaping on the pelvic girdle pain but there is lack of data available to establish the efficacy of sacro iliac joint mobilization on pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain.So this study aims tofulfill this gap by comparing the effects of antenatal exercises with sacro iliac jpint mobilization on pelvic pain, function and disability in pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain
Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) is reported by 50% of pregnant women and up to 11 years after pregnancy, 10% of women have persistent and per definition chronic PGP. Central (nervous system) sensitization that elicits pain hypersensitivity, may be one explanation. The overall aim of this study is to explore features of central sensitization in pregnant women and its predictive ability on physical activity, functioning and health in women with PGP. Measurements of central sensitization will be done on two study groups, pregnant women with PGP and healthy controls. To identify women at risk to develop chronic pain in relation to a common pain experience ie PGP in pregnancy, may help us understand if central sensitization early in life explains why women develop chronic pain.
Pelvic girdle pain (PGP), which is a common musculoskeletal problem of pregnancy, and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), which is diagnosed at the end of the second trimester and at the beginning of the third trimester, occur in a parallel time period. The addition of hyperglycemia to the physiological changes in pregnancy stimulates a new series of cycles and contributes to inflammation, and it is predicted that the presence of GDM may trigger the pain intensity of PGP. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of GDM on PGP symptom severity (pain).
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.
