Low back pain (LBP) caused by pregnancy has an effect on the pregnancy. Pregnancy-related low back pain (LBP) affects many pregnant women's everyday lives [1] and is characterised by lower-back pain that causes physical and emotional disabilities. Flexibilizing allows for smoother movement, which improves posture and relieves pain.
The aim of this study was to look at the effects of a maximum static flexibility programme on LBP during pregnancy.
Clinical prospective randomised controlled trial was used as
the process.
Prenatal treatment provided by the Brazilian Governmental Health Program.
Participants: 40 pregnant women between the ages of 20 and 31 weeks, with or without LBP, were randomly allocated to either the experimental (EG) or control (CG) groups: EG n = 20 (E1 with LBP and E2 without LBP) and CG n = 20. (C1 with LBP and C2 without LBP).
The EG intervention consisted of static flexion sessions. CG was given standard medical attention. The pain level was assessed using a visual analogue scale (VAS). The statistical tests used were Chi-square, Wilcoxon, and Kruskal-Wallis.Results: In terms of percent variation (%), E1 reduced LBP by 56.4 percent, while E2, C1, C2 increased LBP by 2.9 percent, 0.1 percent, and 0.5 percent, respectively. Wilcoxon test results comparing pre- and post-test pain severity levels in experimental and control groups showed substantial E1 p 0.05. The Kruskal-Wallis test showed p 0.05 when contrasting post-test C1 with E1 with E2 and C2 (C1 post vs. E1 post: p = 0.006; C1 post vs. E2 post: p 0.0001; C1 post vs. C2 post: p = 0.002), indicating that the experimental procedure had a meaningful impact.
Conclusion: Gains in LBP for EG indicate that static flexibility exercises help to avoid and minimise pregnancy-related LBP. Static exercises helped reduce or avoid LBP in pregnant women who participated in this Family Health Program. The traditional treatment for LBP in pregnancy, which consisted of drug therapy and rest, yielded no substantial results.
