Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Research suggests that changes in pelvic alignment during the perinatal period are the primary cause of pelvic girdle pain (PGP), both perinatally and postnatally. Researchers also report an association between temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) and changes in lumbopelvic alignment. There are, however, no reports investigating temporomandibular joint disorders or changes in biomechanical alignment among women with postpartum pelvic girdle pain.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Study group (group A)

Maximal vertical mouth opening (MIO):

From sitting position, with the use of the calliper, the distance between the incisal edges along the midline of the upper and lower central incisors without pain was measured, by placing one end of the poley gauge against the incisal edge of one of the upper central incisors, and the other end against the incisal edge of the opposing lower incisor.

The distance recorded in millimetres, the subjects was instructed to" open your mouth as wide as possible without causing pain or discomfort". The poley gauge was sterilized with antiseptic solution before and after each measure Postpartum pain Intervention 'Visual analogue scale'
