Study design. A follow‐up study of women with pelvic pain during pregnancy. Objectives. To evaluate prognostic factors for pelvic pain. Methods. Out of a cohort of 870 pelvic pain patients, 598 women, who delivered less than 42 months prior to the follow‐up measurement, were selected for follow‐up. Results. Data of 430 women were available for analysis with a mean follow‐up duration of 18 months postpartum. Forty‐three women still experienced moderate or severe pain and were seriously hindered…

Persistent genital and pelvic pain after childbirth.

Postpartum genital and pelvic pain persists for longer than a year for a significant percentage of mothers, and women with a history of other chronic pain appear to be particularly vulnerable to developing persistent genital or pelvic pain.

Pelvic girdle pain after childbirth: the impact of mode of delivery.

The finding suggests that, during postpartum period, LBP before pregnancy, parity, active straight leg raise test score ≥ 4, bilateral P4 test, and sitting position during breast-feeding were significantly associated with increased risk of PGP in both vaginal and caesarean modes of deliveries, but further studies are needed for definitive conclusions.

Predicting Persistent Pregnancy-Related Low Back Pain

Predictors for having persistent PGP or combined pain after delivery were low endurance of back flexors, older age, combined pain in early pregnancy and work dissatisfaction, which was found to be a predictor for persistent pain postpartum.

Prognostic factors for recovery from postpartum pelvic girdle pain

ASLR test and belief in improvement are predictors of clinical significance in women having PGP postpartum, and both were statistical significant predictors for both disability and pain as outcome measures.

Pelvic Girdle Pain after Child Birth: The Impact of Mode of Delivery

During postpartum period, low back pain (LBP) before pregnancy, parity, active straight leg raise test score ≥ 4, bilateral P4 test, and sitting position during breast-feeding were significantly associated with increased risk of PGP in both vaginal and caesarean modes of deliveries, but further studies are needed for definitive conclusions.

Predictors and consequences of long-term pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain: a longitudinal follow-up study

This unique long-term follow up of PGP highlights the importance of assessment of pain in the lumbopelvic area early in pregnancy and postpartum in order to identify women with risk of long term pain.

The finding suggests that unilateral posterior pelvic pain provocation test (P4), ASLR test score ≥4, caesarean section delivery and sitting in breast-feeding posture were associated with increased risk of PGP during postpartum.

Lumbar back and posterior pelvic pain during pregnancy: a 3-year follow-up

The aim was to describe the physical status and disability among women with back pain 3 years after delivery, and it was found that women with combined lumbar and posterior pelvic pain were significantly more disabled and had significantly lower endurance in theLumbar back and hip abduction muscles.

Pelvic Pain During Pregnancy: A Descriptive Study of Signs and Symptoms of 870 Patients in Primary Care

Pregnant patients with pelvic pain show a considerable level of complaints, and the overall severity of complaints is not related to previous peripartum pelvic pain or type of deliveries or to commonly used tests.

Understanding Peripartum Pelvic Pain: Implications of a Patient Survey

It is hypothesized that peripartum pelvic pain is caused by strain of ligaments in the pelvis and lower spine resulting from a combination of damage to ligaments (recently or in the past), hormonal effects, muscle weakness, and the weight of the fetus.

Sick leave for lumbar back and posterior pelvic pain in the intervention group was significantly reduced with the program, and the program was cost effective.

Reduction of Back and Posterior Pelvic Pain in Pregnancy

An individually designed program reduced sick leave during pregnancy using a non-elastic sacro-illac belt and good physical fitness reduced the risk of back pain in a subsequent pregnency.

Symptom-giving pelvic girdle relaxation is a considerable problem both in pregnancy and post partum, and the occupational risk can possibly be prevented.

Responsiveness of Outcome Measurements in Rehabilitation of Patients With Posterior Pelvic Pain Since Pregnancy

The usefulness of the Québec Back Pain Disability Scale, the hip adduction strength assessment, and the active straight-leg-raise test was proved by the current study and it seems possible to gain appropriate information about the course of posterior pelvic pain since pregnancy with a small test battery.
