Postpartum Sacroiliac Joint Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect of Adding Shock Wave Therapy to Core Stability Exercises in Treatment of Postpartum Sacroiliac Joint Pain: A Single-blinded, Randomized Controlled Trial.
Despite the high popularity and novelty of shock wave therapy (SWT), it is surprising that just one study has examined the effect of SWT on patients with SIJD and their functional ability following treatment by using subjective assessment tools like numeric rating scale (NRS) and limited by its small sample size and lack of long-term follow-up. Therefore, the present study is expected to contribute to the body of knowledge by exploring the effect of adding SWT to core stability exercises in the management of postpartum sacroiliac joint pain.
