| dc.description.abstracten | Aims and objectives: To analyse pain and functional capacity in women with pelvic
girdle pain and to evaluate the effect of pelvic belt on these parameters. Two types
of belts were to compare.
Background: Pelvic girdle pain is very common during pregnancy. To prevent and
relieve pelvic pain, women can use a set of techniques and tools such as a pelvic
belt. While scientific evidence is lacking, commercial industries suggest the effectiveness
of pelvic belts.
Design: Randomised control trial.
Methods: Forty-six pregnant women with pelvic girdle pain were evaluated. Pain
analysis included a quantitative and a qualitative assessment. A daily activities questionnaire
was used for functional capacity evaluation. Women were tested at two
times during the pregnancy for a longitudinal evaluation, and they used one of the
two belt models during their pregnancy.
Results: Pelvic pain started between the 14th–21st week of pregnancy. Pain intensity
was 60 20 mm. Daily activities could increase pain. The use of belts reduced
pain. The intensity of pain decreased by 20 mm on a visual analogue scale. The
daily activities were also easier. However, all these conclusions are valid only if
pregnant women used belts regularly on short periods.
Conclusions: The belts appear to be interesting tools to reduce pelvic pain and
improve comfort of pregnant women. This effect might be explained by an analgesic
effect with proprioceptive and biomechanical effect. The different types of belts
could have differential effects on global, sacroiliac joint and back pain during pregnancy,
but this hypothesis requires confirmation.
Relevance to clinical practice: Relevant for patient: to use an easy and validated
tool. Relevant for clinical practice: to suggest a tool scientifically validated for
patient. Relevant to economic issues: belts decrease pelvic pain and increase
comfort of pregnant women. Sick leave could decrease. | en_US |
