Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Methods: Sixty pregnant women between 24 and 36 weeks of pregnancy were included in the study. Pregnant women were randomly divided into two groups: The percussion massage treatment (PMT) group and the control group. Pregnant women included in the PMT group received a total of 10 sessions of percussion massage therapy, applied to their bilateral medial gastrocnemius, lateral gastrocnemius, peronus longus and tibialis anterior muscles three times a week. No massage therapy was applied to the lower extremities of the pregnant women in the control group. Pain assessment with Visual analog scale (VAS), ankle, knee, and thigh circumference measurements with tape measure, fatigue level with Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), and quality of life assessment with Short Form- 36 (SF-36) were conducted.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
PMT Group
Pregnant women included in this group received a total of 12 sessions of percussion massage therapy, applied to their bilateral lower extremities for four weeks.
percussion massage therapy
Pregnant women included in this group received a total of 12 sessions of percussion massage therapy, applied to their bilateral lower extremities for four weeks. Percussion massage was applied to both extremities at separate times for 5 minutes each with the Hypervolt device. (Fig. 2) Four muscles in total were focused on; These muscles are medial gastrocnemius, lateral gastrocnemius, peronus longus, and tibialis anterior. Percussion massage was applied in the longitudinal direction of the muscle, from distal to proximal and back to distal, going from posterior to anterior muscle groups. Percussion massage started on the medial side and ended on the lateral side for each muscle. Equal pressure and duration were applied to each muscle.
Control Group
No massage therapy was applied to the lower extremities of the pregnant women in this group.
No interventions assigned to this group
