Filter by:This study compares sexual function, body image, kinesiophobia and physical activity level in women with and without pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain.
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.
The aim of this study is to determine the effects of Silver Spike Point Therapy (SSPT) therapy on pelvic girdle pain and functional activities in pregnancy.The finding of this study will help to establish the role of SSPT therapy to relieve pelvic girdle pain in pregnant females along with exercises. SSP for pelvic girdle pain management can prove to be a useful method. The findings of this study can play a role to establish more rigorous treatment plans for pelvic girdle pain in the pregnant population in the future.
Pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PPGP) is a common musculoskeletal problem for women during pregnancy and after delivery. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of integrated training for pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) and stabilization with and without transabdominal ultrasonography (TAUS) imaging-guided biofeedback on pain, disability, and physical function, and muscle functions for the abdominal muscles and PFMs in postpartum women with PPGP.
Evaluating the Management of chronic Pelvic girdle pain following Pregnancy (EMaPP) During pregnancy pelvic girdle pain is common. This pain will often reduce following childbirth, however almost 20% of women continue to suffer significant pain for at least three months afterwards. When pain is severe it will affect everyday activities and quality of life. Usual treatment typically involves Physiotherapy (advice and exercise) and provision of an "off the shelf" rigid pelvic support belt. Women often find these uncomfortable and difficult to use. A customised pelvic orthotic (referred to as pelvic support shorts) is an alternative that on initial testing has shown promising results in women with chronic pelvic girdle pain.This feasibility study aims to obtain the data and operational experience necessary to inform the conduct and finalise the design of a future large randomised controlled trial. The investigators will also gather women's views about the support shorts and the trial. It is vital to understand what treatments are beneficial to this group of women and this is the main driver for this National Institute of Health Research funded trial. Following screening and consent, 60 women aged > 18 years, with severe, persistent post-partum pelvic girdle pain will be recruited into the trial. They will be randomised to receive either usual care (advice and exercise) or usual care and the customised pelvic support shorts. All women will receive 2 web-based sessions with a physiotherapist who will provide this intervention. All will complete web-based self-report questionnaires (pain, function, quality of life, continence, depression) at baseline, 3 and 6 months. Fortnightly scoring of pain and medication usage throughout the trial timeline complements this. Fifteen women and five clinicians will be interviewed at the end of the trial to explore their experiences of wearing/providing the "support shorts" and participating in the trial.
About 45% of pregnant women and 25% of women postpartum suffer from Pelvic girdle pain. Pain is often reported to be localized between costal margin and gluteal fold with or without radiation to lower limb or symphysis pubic. Kinesio taping (KT) is the application of an elastic tape, for treating musculoskeletal conditions through enhancing muscle strength, relieving spasms, pain and edema, improving blood circulation and lymph reflux, as well as stabilizing joints. However, with limited evidence and a lack of well-designed study, the effects of KT in postpartum women with PGP remains unclear. Compared with KT, the dynamic taping(DT) is recently developed and has stronger elastic resistance and recoil. The DT may have better effects than the KT, although this notion has not been examined. In this study, we make a hypothesis that PGP women in the DT group would have better improvements on pain, disability, quality of life, and PFM functions than that in the KT group and control group.
The objective of this research is to compare the efficacy of stabilization exercise versus pelvic girdle pain thrust manipulation technique in females with postpartum pain.
Pelvic girdle pain and gestational diabetes mellitus are experienced in similar trimesters of pregnancy. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of gestational diabetes mellitus on the occurrence of pelvic girdle pain and the severity of symptoms of pelvic girdle pain in pregnant women.
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 joint (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 postpartum may contribute to development of chronic condition, lowering quality of life years after delivery. There is uncertainty regarding the association between the function of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM), diastasis recti and postpartum pelvic girdle pain (PGP). Although widely researched abroad, there is a paucity in research about biopsychosocial profile of women with postpartum PGP in Poland. Objectives: The aim of this one-to-one matched case-control study it to examine whether there is any difference in PFM function and diastasis recti between women with and without clinically diagnosed PGP. Additionally, differences in biopsychosocial profile (depression, anxiety, stress, catastrophizing and kinesiophobia) will be assessed. Materials and methods: Because of low incidence of researched condition, a case control study will be the study design of choice. Women 6-24 weeks after delivery with postpartum PGP will be matched with those with no PGP. Subjects' assessment will consist of palpation examination of diastasis recti (inter-recti distance) and pelvic floor muscles. Perineometry of the pelvic floor will also be conducted. Additionally, several questionnaires for the assessment of mental processing will be used: Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 21, Pain Catastrophizing Scale and Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia. Participants will be matched according to age, parity and time postpartum. Expected results: To our knowledge, postpartum pelvic girdle pain has not been extensively studied in Poland so far. The study will bring information about the possible associations with postpartum PGP. We hypothesize that the study will confirm our clinical observations about pelvic floor dysfunction and maladaptive mental processing in women with postpartum PGP.
