Brief Summary

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

This study compares sexual function, body image, kinesiophobia and physical activity level in women with and without pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain.

Detailed Description

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

Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) is a condition felt around the posterior iliac crystals, gluteal region and the sacroiliac joints, may spread to the back of the thigh, and may occur together or separately with pain in the symphysis pubis. Pregnancy-related PGP causes problems in the sexual life of women. Body image differs with the development of physical symptoms and changes in body size and shape during pregnancy. Body dissatisfaction resulting from physical changes can cause problems in women's attitudes towards sexuality. Sexual function is affected by physiological, anatomical and psychological changes that occur during pregnancy. Sexual function during pregnancy has been associated with conditions such as body image, physical activity level, and pain.

In the literature, there are studies evaluating the relationship between sexual function and body image in pregnant women and in different populations. However, in these studies, questionnaires specific to pregnant women were not used to evaluate sexual function and body image, and a comparison of these parameters was not investigate in women with and without pregnancy-related PGP.

Therefore, this study was planned to compare sexual function, body image, kinesiophobia and physical activity levels in women with and without pregnancy-related PGP.

The outcome measures are Pregnancy Sexual Response Inventory (PSRI), Body Image in Pregnancy Scale (BIPS-Turkish), Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale (TKS) and Pregnancy physical activity questionnaire (PPAQ).

The clinical diagnosis tests are Active Straight Leg Rise, Posterior Pelvic Pain Provocation Test, Long Dorsal Sacroiliac Ligament Palpation, Pelvic Compression, Pelvic Distraction, Patrick-Faber Test and Gaenslen Test.

women with pelvic girdle pain

The subjects who have at least one positive result from Active Straight Leg Raise, and Posterior Pelvic Pain Provocation Tests; and at least two positive results from the Pelvic Compression and Distraction, Patrick Faber, Gaenslen and Long Dorsal Sacroiliac Ligament Palpation tests are classified as with PGP group.

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The clinical diagnosis tests are Active Straight Leg Rise ASLR, Posterior Pelvic Pain Provocation, Long Dorsal Sacroiliac Ligament Palpation (LDSLP), Pelvic Compression, Pelvic Distraction, Patrick-Faber Test (PF), and Gaenslen Test (GT).

The subjects who had at least one positive result from ASLR and P4 Tests; and at least two positive results from the Pelvic Compression and Distraction, PF, GT and LDSLP tests are classified as with PGP group.

women without pelvic girdle pain

The subjects who have not at least one positive result from Active Straight Leg Raise, and Posterior Pelvic Pain Provocation Tests; and at least two positive results from the Pelvic Compression and Distraction, Patrick Faber, Gaenslen and Long Dorsal Sacroiliac Ligament Palpation tests are classified as without PGP group.
