Non-Pharmacological Interventions To Reduce Back Pain in Pregnant Women: A Literature Review
International Journal of Science and Society
Back pain is pain that occurs in the lumbosacral area. The phenomenon of back pain experienced by pregnant women is one of the most frequently reported complaints. The purpose of this study was to find out what are the non-pharmacological interventions to reduce back pain in pregnant women. This study is a literature review to study non-pharmacological interventions to reduce back pain in pregnant women. Sources for conducting this literature review included ScienceDirect search studies, Google scholar, Sage journal and PubMed. There are several interventions that can be done to reduce back pain in pregnant women non-pharmacologically, namely unsupervised water exercises, Ear Acupuncture, Topical Use of Rosa Damascena (Rose) Oil, Yoga, Endorphine Massage, Effleurage Techniques and Warm Compresses and Effleurage Massage and Breath Relaxation In. Non-pharmacological interventions have significant value in reducing back pain in pregnant women and are safe to use.
Effect of Therapeutic Exercises and ADL Instructions in Low Back Pain During Pregnancy
Medicine Today, 2015
Aim of this study is to educate pregnant women about posture and application of biomechanical principles in functional and work related activities and to prevent low back pain with help of Exercise Program and Education. Patients were randomly allocated in two groups. Group A included 30 patients and they received traditional antenatal care. Group B included more 30 patients and received therapeutic exercise and ADL instructions. They had one visit every two week for six weeks. In each visit both groups were evaluated for variables including pain, tenderness, mobility index and sleep. Pain was assessed by subjective intensity and VAS; tenderness was evaluated by tenderness index, mobility index by scoter test and SLR (straight leg rising). All the relevant collected data were recorded in prescribed data sheet and analyzed by using computer based statistical packages for social science (SPSS). A 'p' value < 0.05 was considered as significant. Student's't' test and Chi-square test was done to see the level of significance as required. The Study concluded that the back care in the form of Exercise Program and Postural Education given to women as early in their pregnancy as possible may prevent back pain or decrease the severity of back pain if it occurs.

Pregnancy related low back pain is a common condition during pregnancy. It is managed with conventional physiotherapy treatment protocols like exercises, use of modalities, manual therapy and various adjunct therapies. Kinesiotaping is also used widely to treat low back pain. There are different techniques of kinesiotaping that are used widely. The aim of this study was to find out the effect of two different techniques of kinesiotaping in pregnancy related low back pain. The outcome measures used were Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and Pregnancy Mobility Index (PMI). Forty-five participants were allocated in three groups using random number generator with fifteen in each group-control, Taping Technique 1(TT1) and Taping Technique 2(TT2). Control group was provided with conventional exercises like pelvic tilts, core activation and Kegel's exercises which were to be done twice a day for a period of five days along with the ergonomic advice. TT1 was given with the spine in neutral using four I bands which were applied vertically and horizontally. Two I bands were applied vertically using fifty percent stretch and inhibition technique from lower iliac crest to upper twelfth rib and two I bands were applied horizontally using space correction technique. TT2 was applied with the spine in lumbar flexion. Three I bands were used with two applied vertically along the paraspinal muscles with fifteen to twenty five percent stretch and the third tape was applied horizontally with hundred percent stretch in middle and no stretch at the ends. In both the techniques exercises were provided along with the taping given for a period of five days. The outcome measures used were NRS and PMI. Pain was evaluated on NRS at baseline, immediate after intervention and post five days of intervention. PMI score was taken at baseline at post five days of intervention. The results showed significant difference in NRS and PMI scores in all the three groups post five days of intervention but TT1 showed significantly superior difference as compared to other groups. The study thus concluded that TT1 is effective in reducing the pregnancy related low back and it is a better technique of taping as compared to TT2.

Departmental sources Background: Pregnancy-related low back pain is a common condition during pregnancy. Kinesio tape is a drug-free elastic therapeutic tape used for treating various musculoskeletal problems. The aim of this study was to investigate the short-term effects of lumbar Kinesio taping on pain intensity and disability in women with pregnancy-related low back pain. Material/Methods: A total of 65 patients with pregnancy-related low back pain were randomly allocated into either Kinesio taping (n=33) or control (n=32) groups. The intervention group was treated with paracetamol plus Kinesio taping, while the control group received only paracetamol. Kinesio taping was applied in the lumbar flexion position, and four I-shaped bands were used. Two bands were attached horizontally, with space correction technique. The remaining 2 bands, 1 on each side of the lumbar spine, were placed vertically, with inhibition technique. Low back pain intensity was measured on a 10-cm visual analogue scale (VAS), and the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) was used for evaluation of disability. Results: Pain intensity and RMDQ scores improved significantly in both groups at 5 days compared with baseline. Considering the degree of treatment effect (the change from baseline to day 5), the Kinesio taping group was significantly superior than the control group in all outcome measures (for all, P<0.001). Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that Kinesio taping can be used as a complementary treatment method to achieve effective control of pregnancy-related low back pain.
Risk Factors Associated with Low Back Pain among A Group of 1510 Pregnant Women
Journal of Personalized Medicine
Background: Low Back Pain (LBP) is a frequent, very common, and costly health problem. LBP, which occurs during pregnancy, may become a lifelong problem. The aim of this study was to determine the risk factors associated with LBP in pregnant women. Methods: The study included 1510 pregnant women. A questionnaire assessing demography, lifestyle, prevalence, and characteristics was designed and used in the study. Pain intensity was assessed with the VAS (Visual Analogue Scale). The RMDQ (Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire) was used to assess the effect that low back pain had on the functional capacity of a pregnant woman. Middle (thoracic) and low back pain disability was measured with the help of the ODI (Oswestry Disability Index) questionnaire. Results: The study confirmed that lying/sleeping (49.6%) and sitting positions (38.7%) as well as walking (37.2%) are the most significant factors causing LBP. It was also found that women who had not engaged in physical activity were mo...
In the postpartum period various changes in the hormone level occurs such as musculoskeletal changes which leads to excessive joint mobility, weakness of core stabilizers, and altered spinal mobility and function. The aim of the study is to evaluate the prevalence of low back pain in cesarean versus normal vaginal delivery and impact of low back pain in their lives. 80 participants were recruited into the study who met the inclusion criteria. Out of the 30 participants who had undergone cesarean section, 17(56.67%) participants were having low back pain and 13(43.33%) participants were not having low back pain. The prevalence of low back pain in postpartum women with cesarean section was high as compared with women who had normal delivery. The quality of life is higher in postpartum women with normal vaginal delivery because of less pain than the women with cesarean section. The disability level is lower in postpartum women with normal vaginal delivery than the women with cesarean section.

The objectives of this study were to examine the prevalence and pattern of back pain (BP) in pregnancy. A survey of 2,187 pregnant women attending ante-natal clinics in selected Medical facilities in Ibadan and Ogbomoso, Nigeria was carried out using pre-tested close-ended questionnaire. Information on prevalence, pattern and characteristics of back pain in pregnancy were obtained. Data obtained was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics of mean, standard deviation, and inferential statistics of independent t-tests and chi-square tests. One thousand and eight (52.5%) of the 1919 included subjects had back pain in pregnancy. The mean age of those with and without back pain was 26.8 ± 5.3 and 27.1 ± 5.4 years respectively. Mean number of pregnancy was higher in subjects with back pain than those without back pain. The pain site among the 1008 subjects with back pain was low back in 669 subjects (66.4%), posterior pelvic in 242 subjects (24.0%) and high back in 97 subjects (9.6%). Among the subjects with back pain, 315 (31.3%) and 53 (5.3%) were in their first and sixth pregnancies respectively. Postural modification relieved the back pain in about 50% of the subjects across the three back pain groups during pregnancy. It was concluded that back pain is a common and real complaint in pregnancy. It is therefore recommended that rather than dismiss it as trivial, back pain in pregnancy should be attended to as part of ante-natal care. (Afr. J. Biomed.

Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a common disorder involving the muscles, nerves, and bones of the back. Pain can vary from a dull constant ache to a sudden sharp feeling. This can be due to a combination of mechanical, hormonal, and psychosocial factors. These have a negative impact on their quality of life. Treatment options are often poor, as the cause of back pain is not always fully understood. Furthermore, treatments that are available usually have a low success rate and consist mainly of lifestyle adjustments and bed rest. Material and Methods: Two hundred and ten women were selected from the OPD of genecology and obstetrics department of Jinnah hospital Lahore for interview, a structured questionnaire was used for information, data entered in computer software SPSS version 22.0. A cross sectional survey was done. Participants of the study are 15 to 45 years old having established diagnosis of low back pain. Duration of the study was 3 months. Result: Among 210 females, 22.22% noted ongoing back pain at the time they became pregnant. 54% were multigravidas and 41% were grand multigravidas. In the latter group, 19% patients had backache before pregnancy and 81% had during pregnancy. No treatment was taken in 61% patients, rest in 19%, analgesic in 12% and light exercise by 9% patients. The present study revealed that backache is more prevalent in multigravidas, grand multigravidas and associated factors like weightlifting, heavy work, bending, standing posture etc. are main causes of backache. Analgesics are effective in relieving backache in pregnancy. The appropriate treatment aims to reduce the discomfort and the impact on the pregnant woman's quality of life. Conclusion: Back pain is a common problem in pregnant women and many factors contribute to it. About half of the patients are taking rest to treat LBP. It is advised that the patient should be given special advice regarding posture and exercise, training of health care provider, education of the pregnant during antenatal sessions, about proper nutrition, weight control, and family planning.
