About this study

This is a randomized control trial to compare the effects of core stabilization versus generalized antenatal exercises for lumbopelvic pain in pregnant women. Females meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be divided into three groups by convenient sampling technique. A sample size of 48 females with 16 females in each group. Group A will be treated by core stability exercises and group B will be treated by generalized antenatal exercises and group C will receive basic antenatal education. Group A and B will have three treatment sessions per week for 4 weeks. Females will be evaluated at baseline and 2nd and 4th week . Females will be screened by Patricks faber test, piriformis /FAIR test, p4/posterior pelvic pain provocation test and assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS) and pregnant women quality of life questionnaire (QOL- GRAV).

Primary outcomes

  1. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    Time frame: Changes from Baseline to 2nd week

    It is a numeric rating scale from 0 to 10 where 0 represents "no pain" and 10 represents the "worst possible pain.it is used to rate the pain intensity in patients

  2. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    Time frame: Changes from 2nd week to 4th week

    It is a numeric rating scale from 0 to 10 where 0 represents "no pain" and 10 represents the "worst possible pain.it is used to rate the pain intensity in patients

  3. Pregnant women's quality of life questionnaire (QOL-GRAV)

    Time frame: Changes from Baseline to 2nd week

    Nine items make up the scale that allows individuals to describe their individual experiences with pregnancy's quality of life. It had a greater internal consistency than 0.7. A 5-point Likert scale (ranging from not at all [0] to totally [4]) was used to rate each item. The final three questions-7, 8 and 9-are scored in reverse.

  4. Pregnant women's quality of life questionnaire (QOL-GRAV)

    Time frame: Changes from 2nd week to 4th week
