Brief Summary

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

Exercise interventions are deemed essential for the effective management of patients with pain. Various therapy methods have been shown in the literature for pain and coping with pain. However, there is no study investigating the effectiveness of Basic Body Awareness Therapy in pain and coping with pain. In this respect, our study will contribute to the literature. The aim of our study is to compare the effectiveness of Basic Body Awareness Therapy and Therapeutic Exercises on pain coping strategies of Postmenopausal women.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The patients will be randomly assigned into three groups: Therapeutic Exercise (TE) Group, Therapeutic Exercise+Basic Body Awareness (TE+BBAT) Group, and Control Group. Each group will be treated for 12 weeks. Individuals will be evaluated in detail at the beginning and end of the study. The follow-up assessments of the study will be done 3 months after the conclusion of the treatments. Physical and sociodemographic characteristics will be evaluated by dedicated form. The body awareness of the participants will be evaluated Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ) developed by Shields, Mallory \& Simon in 1989. The pain levels of the PmW will be measured with the Short Form McGill Pain Questionnaire. Pain coping strategies of PmW will be assessed with Pain Coping Inventory (PCI). The Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Index will be used for evaluating the disability level caused by low back pain. The Neck Disability Index will be used for evaluating the disability level caused by neck pain.

Study Groups

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

Therapeutic Exercise Group

The therapeutic exercise protocol will be taught to patients in the first session and will be done 3 times a week for 12 weeks.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Therapeutic Exercise Group

Intervention Type OTHER

Therapeutic exercise sessions will begin with a short educational talk that provides information on proper body mechanics, and the benefits of exercise, followed by simple warm-ups and three different stretching and five different strengthening exercises that emphasize hip, abdominal, and back muscles. The frequency of repetitions of each stretching and strength exercise will be 10 with a holding time of 10 sec. Each set of strengthening exercises will be followed by a different set of stretching exercises. Sessions will end with a short unguided period of deep slow breathing.

Therapeutic Exercise+Basic Body Awareness (BBAT) Group

This group will receive BBAT as well as therapeutic exercises for 3 times a week for 12 week. Therapeutic exercises will include strengthening, stretching, and stabilization exercises. BBAT will include postural alignment, breathing, and cognitive exercises.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Therapeutic Exercise+Basic Body Awareness Therapy Group

Intervention Type OTHER

This group will receive BBAT as well as therapeutic exercises. Therapeutic exercises will include strengthening, stretching, and stabilization exercises. BBAT will include postural alignment, breathing, and cognitive exercises.
