Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
HVLA techiniques (G1)
Performed with thrust (also known as HVLA) in the sacroiliac joint and T10-L2 level
HVLA
High velocity, low amplitude manipulation for the sacroiliac joint and T10-L2. The interventions were performed once a week for four weeks by a physiotherapist with a degree in in osteopathy and ten years of clinical experience. Each visit lasted about 5 minutes.
global osteopathic protocol
Myofascial, visceral, and articular techniques. Complete treatment in order to restore and rebalance internal tensions and improve the visceral mobility: muscle inhibition techniques for the psoas muscle; deep massage in the obturator foramen; stretching for the greater omentum; lift of the uterus, ovary, and bladder ; abdominal maneuver; and thrust of sacroiliac joint and T12-L1. The interventions were performed once a week for four weeks by a physiotherapist with a degree in in osteopathy and ten years of clinical experience. Each visit lasted about 15 minutes.
Global osteopathic protocol (G2)
Several elements were emphasized - myofascial, bone, and visceral.
global osteopathic protocol
Myofascial, visceral, and articular techniques. Complete treatment in order to restore and rebalance internal tensions and improve the visceral mobility: muscle inhibition techniques for the psoas muscle; deep massage in the obturator foramen; stretching for the greater omentum; lift of the uterus, ovary, and bladder ; abdominal maneuver; and thrust of sacroiliac joint and T12-L1. The interventions were performed once a week for four weeks by a physiotherapist with a degree in in osteopathy and ten years of clinical experience. Each visit lasted about 15 minutes.
Pelvic floor muscle training (G3)
Muscle Training for four weeks, with a weekly face-to-face visit lasting 10-20 minutes.
pelvic floor muscle training
Pelvic floor muscle training for four weeks, with a weekly face-to-face visit lasting 10-20 minutes. In this intervention, participants were instructed to perform three sequences of exercises: contractions and relaxations (three seconds of sustained contractions and six seconds of rest), ten sustained contractions (ten seconds of sustained contractions and 20 seconds of rest), and five contractions associated with a cough. These exercises were performed in the standing, sitting, and lying positions
Control group (G4)
No intervention and was simply evaluated and re-evaluated.
No interventions assigned to this group
