简要总结
The aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of assisted sit-up exercise and swiss ball pikes on the treatment of pain and disability of postpartum low back pain. The current study will compare the use of assisted sit-up exercise and swiss ball pikes. The current study is novel in a way that there is limited literature about treating postpartum low back pain with physical strengthening exercises. These two methods will be employed to see if they improve ranges along with accompanying pain and disability.
详细描述
This study will be a randomized clinical trial. Subjects with postpartum low back pain meeting the predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria will divide into two groups. Pre-assessment will be done using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale & Roland-Morris Questionnaire as subjective measurements. Subjects in one group will be treated with assisted sit-up exercise and the other will be treated with swiss ball pikes. Each subject will receive a total of 12 treatment sessions, with 2 treatment sessions per week. Post-treatment reading for numeric pain rating scale and Roland-Morris questionnaire will be recorded after the end of the 4th, 8th, and 12th treatment session.

结局指标
主要结局
Numeric pain rating scale (NPRS)
时间窗: up to 6 weeks
An outcome measure that is a segmented numeric version of visual analogue scale in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of patient's pain. The common format is horizontal bar or line and NPRS is anchored by terms describing pain and severity extremes.
Ronald Morris Disability (RMD) questionnaire
时间窗: up to 6 weeks
a self-administered disability measure in which greater levels of disability are reflected by higher numbers on a 24-point scale. This questionnaire has been shown to yield reliable measurements, which are valid for inferring the level of disability, and to be sensitive to change over time for groups of patients with low back pain.
