Filter by:Pelvic girdle pain is frequently experienced in pregnant women and the mechanism of pelvic girdle pain is not known exactly. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of biomechanical and viscoelastic properties of plantar fascia on pelvic girdle pain in pregnant women.
The findings from this project may result in pain reduction and improved mobility in pregnant women with pelvic girdle pain in their second and third trimester.
Postpartum women with PPGP receiving specific pelvic stabilization exercise training with transabdominal sonography-guided Biofeedback would have better improvements on muscle functions, physical functions, pain, and disability compared to the regular pelvic stabilization exercise group
This study investigates the effects of pelvic belt (PB) and kinesio taping (KT) applications on pain and functional mobility in pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PGP), in comparison with the control group that received only pain neuroscience education and ergonomic training.
A large proportion of pregnant women develop pregnancy-related low back and/or pelvic girdle pain (PPGP), which often does not recover spontaneously postpartum. As a result, 10% of women with PPGP still reports complaints a decade after delivery. The prevention and treatment of PPGP are thus crucial. However, the underlying mechanisms of PPGP are still poorly understood. The main objective of this study is to investigate whether lumbar proprioceptive deficits, a disturbed body perception at the lumbar spine and psychosocial factors (incl. pain-related fear of movement, depression, anxiety and stress) are associated with (1) a reduced postural control and (2) the development and/or persistence of PPGP in multiparous women during the first and third trimester of pregnancy, and six weeks and six months postpartum.
Background: Pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PGP) can appear during pregnancy, directly after labour or can be delayed to 3 weeks postpartum. Pain is experienced between the posterior iliac crest and the gluteal fold, particularly in the vicinity of the Sacroiliac joints (SIJ). The pain may radiate in the posterior thigh and can also occur in conjunction with/or separately in the symphysis. The endurance capacity for standing, walking, and sitting is diminished. The diagnosis of PGP can be reached after exclusion of lumbar causes. The pain or functional disturbances in relation to PGP must be reproducible by specific clinical tests. Lack of accurate and early diagnosis of the PGP reasons postpartum may contribute to development of chronic condition, lowering quality of life years after delivery. Objectives: The aim of the project is to evaluate the underlying cause of the severe pelvic girdle pain postpartum (whether it is real PGP or diastasis pubic symphysis) and to assess the differences between females with severe postpartum PGP, mild and moderate PGP and with no PGP in terms of: presence of diastasis pubic symphysis, presence of diastasis recti and linea alba dysfunction, factors associated with labour and maladaptive mental processing (catastrophizing). Materials and methods: Because of low incidence of researched conditions, a case control study will be the study design of choice. The subjects with PGP will be matched with those with no PGP. Subjects' assessment will consist of palpation and ultrasonography evaluation of diastasis recti(inter-recti distance), ultrasonography assesment of pubic symphysis (inter-pubic width) and mental processing (catastrophizing assessed with Pain Catastrophizing Scale) analysis. Factors connected with labour (time from epidural anaesthesia injection to full dilatation and delivery) will be also investigated. Expected results: To the investigators' knowledge, postpartum pelvic girdle pain has not been extensively studied so far. The study will bring information about the possible underlying cause of postpartum PGP: whether it is PGP or diastasis pubic symphysis.
Back pain during pregnancy is common with up to 90% of pregnant women experiencing either low back pain (PLBP), pelvic girdle pain (PGP) or a combination of both pains. Although pregnant women seek out various forms of pain relief methods such as pain medication, exercise, education, pelvic support belts, and chiropractic treatments, there is limited evidence with regards to the efficacy of these treatments. Recently manual therapists, such as chiropractors, have used tape in an effort to relieve pain from musculoskeletal injuries with varying results. In the pregnant population, there have been limited studies to date on the role of taping and pregnancy-related back pain and none of this research delineates the efficacy of tape with respect to the 3 pain patterns experienced by pregnant women.
This study will be conducted to show the effect of low level laser therapy 810 nm and pelvic stabilization exercises has Effect on pelvic girdle pain Postpartum Pelvic girdle pain (PPGP) is common complaint in pregnant women all over the world and it has a major impact on health and functioning as it decreases quality of life. PGP generally arises in relation with pregnancy, trauma and reactive arthritis. The onset of PGP is usually by weeks 17-19 of gestation, with a peak of incidence by weeks 24- 36. Postpartum follow-up studies have shown that 5- 27% of the women had persisting pain 1-3 months after delivery. However, it was report that 7% have remaining pain 6 years after delivery causing severe discomfort and reduced ability to work , ninety prime-gravid or multigravida postnatal women's were randomly classified into three groups, Group (A): composed of 30 patients who received low-level laser therapy and pelvic stabilization exercises for 12 sessions over six week's period by 2 sessions per week. Group (B): composed of 30 patients who low-level laser therapy only for 12 sessions over six week's period by 2 sessions per week and Group (C): composed of 30 patients who received pelvic stabilization exercises For 12 sessions over six week's period by 2 sessions per week. Pain Using Visual analogue scale, serum cortisol level, and disability using pelvic girdle questionnaire) were measured and compared at 0 and 6 weeks after the treatment in the 3 groups.
This is a multi-centre, prospective, open-label, single-arm, first-in-man clinical investigation. The patients enrolled in this clinical trial will undergo elective surgery for pelvic fusion. Following harvesting of autologous bone graft form the iliac crest, the donor site will be reconstructed with a new scaffold known as GreenBone. GreenBone is a ceramic reabsorbable scaffold which is obtained by the transformation of wood. It has a very similar structure to bone. The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety of using the GreenBone in humans and also to evaluate its capacity to promote new bone formation at the donor site.
During pregnancy, women often experience musculoskeletal pain, specifically in their low back and/or pelvic girdle. Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) is defined as pain between the posterior iliac crest and gluteal fold, particularly in the region of the sacroiliac joint (SIJ)1. Although it is often referred to as "sciatica". PGP in pregnancy is common with prevalence estimates of 45%2. Previous studies have found that one third of patients will rate their PGP intensity as severe, leading to functional impairments. Functional disabilities include sitting, walking, and standing; thus, significantly impacting the ability of patients to perform routine daily activities. This pain has been reported to develop as early as 17-19 weeks' gestation, lasting up to 3 months postpartum; with a peak incidence of 24-36 weeks. The etiology of PGP in pregnant women is still not fully understood, largely due to the complex interactions between bone, ligaments, fascia, and muscles in the pelvic joints3. Some studies suggest the increased mobility of the joints in the pelvic girdle during pregnancy due to relaxing cause a lack of stabilization in the sacroiliac region, which results in pain4. Thus, it is hypothesized that providing stabilization of the joints with an external force, such as a maternity or SIJ belt, will improve pain.
