- Registration Number
- NCT05442476
- Lead Sponsor
- Ziauddin University
- Brief Summary
Pregnancy is the main occasion of every woman's life in which numerous episodes of physiological and anatomical adjustments takes place within woman's body to become a mother. Anatomical changes often leads to poor biomechanics and may cause mechanical dysfunction of spine especially lower back.. Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) goes through most of mobility during the period of pregnancy due to hormone release causes ligamentous laxity that can cause SIJD.
- Detailed Description
Fifty two patients will be randomly divided into two groups i.e. Group-A (n=26) and B (n=26) respectively through simple random sampling, sealed envelope method. Informed consent will be taken from the participant prior to intervention. Baseline assessment will be carried out before the first session of all the recruited participants on four outcome measures using, Patrick's FABER test for provocation of pain, NPRS for intensity of pain, RMDQ for physical disability and PALM Pelvic Inclinometer for pelvic asymmetry respectively. Skin reaction test will be conducted before randomization after the baseline assessment for all participants. A small patch of kinesio tape will be applied to the hip region and the participants will be asked to keep it for 24 hours. If any of the participants will develop allergic reaction, it will be removed immediately and participants with positive results will be excluded from the study. After this test, the allergy-free patients will be randomized into 2 groups for treatment. Participants of Group-A will be applied KT with conventional physiotherapy while Group-B participants will perform MET with conventional physiotherapy. Whereas, both the groups will be given 12 sessions of their respective protocol, comprising 20 minutes, 3 times/week for the duration of 4 weeks. After the end of the intervention, subjects will be reassessed after the last session and data will be collected on the same outcome measures for further evaluation

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Disability After 4 weeks It will be used for the participants to assess the disability with low back pain, comprised of 24 items regarding functional status that are likely to be affected by LBP. The scoring of RMQD will show '0' as no disability and '24' as maximum disability
Pelvic tilting After 4 weeks PALM device is portable, convenient to use that combines the features of a caliper and inclinometer. It is reliable tool used for measuring pelvic tilting angle/inclination by marking a point just inferior to ASIS; another mark inferior to PSIS. Keeping the calipers of the PALM on these two points to determine the distance in centimeter between two points
