“…Characteristics of the included studies are presented in Table 2. Of the 23 studies, four studies included those with PLBP only (Bartlam et al, 2018; Ho et al, 2009; Sadr et al, 2012; Severinsen et al, 2019), three studies included those with PLBP and those with PPGP(Aggeryd et al, 2021; Close et al, 2016; Sheraton et al, 2018) and the remaining 16 included people with PPGP only.…”

“…Varied experiences of the effectiveness of services/interventions provided by doctors, physiotherapists, midwives, osteopaths, and chiropractors were reported. For some, the treatment resulted in functional and pain improvement (Ceprnja, Chipchase, et al, 2022; Ceprnja, Lawless, et al, 2022; Mainjot, 2020; Monaghan & Haywood, 2017; Sheraton et al, 2018), while for others, the treatment had no effect or worsened symptoms (Close et al, 2016; Monaghan & Haywood, 2017; Wellock & Crichton, 2007a).…”

Background. Pregnancy-related lumbopelvic pain is common and can impact quality of life. Purpose. To synthesize existing qualitative research on people's experiences of pregnancy-related lumbopelvic pain in pregnancy and during the postpartum period. Method. A keyword search of four electronic databases between 2000 and 2022 was completed. Included studies were appraised and synthesized using a meta-ethnographic approach. Findings. Twenty-three studies were included. Analysis identified four core themes: (1) uncertainties about pregnancy-related lumbopelvic pain, (2) struggles to attain achieve treatment and pain management, (3) profound activity consequences, and (4) emotional wellbeing, relationship, and identity impacts of pregnancy-related lumbopelvic pain. Implications. The occupational therapy role with this population has not to our knowledge yet been described. Given the centrality of occupational disruption to the experience of this population we argue that developing and evaluating occupational therapy interventions to address functional, work, parenting and wellbeing outcomes for this population is warranted and should be prioritized.

“…The study results clearly demonstrated those pregnancy characteristics among pregnant women, the choice and application of complementary medicine. As Sheraton et al (2018) reported that women are increasingly using complementary and alternative therapies during pregnancy. This view is worthy of further investigation.…”

Objective: This study aimed to compare the pregnancy stress among pregnant women in receiving tocolytic and non-tocolytic treatments where both used complementary medicine.Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 35 pregnant women receiving tocolytic treatment and 35 receiving non-tocolytic treatment, where both used complementary medicine in a medical center in central Taiwan. A basic information questionnaire that contained demographic variables and types of complementary medicine used and the Pregnancy Stress Rating Scale were used for the analysis.Results: The types of complementary medicines were surveyed using the multiple-choice questionnaire. Natural products (77.5%) were most commonly used by pregnant women receiving tocolytic treatment, followed by alternative medicine (13.75%), manipulative and body-based practices (5%), and mind and body medicine (3.75%). In pregnant women who were receiving non-tocolytic treatment, natural products (59.1%) were most commonly used, followed by manipulative and body-based practices (16.4%), alternative medicine (15.4%), mind and body medicine (7.3%), and energy therapy (1.8%). According to the analysis of covariance test results, while both used complementary medicine in groups, pregnant women receiving tocolytic treatment were less stressed than those who were receiving non-tocolytic treatment (Pregnancy Stress Rating Scale score, p = 0.038), especially in dimension 2 (stress caused by infant care and changes in family relationships) (p = 0.015) and dimension 5 (stress caused by changes in physical appearance and function) (p = 0.008), which showed statistically significant differences (p < 0.05). Linear regression analysis results showed that the gestational age significantly associated with pregnancy stress (Pregnancy Stress Rating Scale score, p = 0.029; dimension 2, p = 0.016; and dimension 5, p = 0.001).Conclusion: Among both who used complementary medicine, pregnancy stress was significantly lower in pregnant women who were receiving tocolytic treatment than in those who were receiving non-tocolytic treatment. This finding can be used as a reference for future pregnant women’s health studies.

“…Studies already conducted on OMT in pregnant women have shown it to be safe and effective in controlling low back pain in pregnant women [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 ]. Physical and mental benefits of the use of OMT in pregnant women have also been observed [ 14 ].…”

During pregnancy, the various changes women undergo can affect their health status. Manual therapies are important aids because they do not use medication. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of osteopathic manipulative treatment on the intensity of lumbar and pelvic pain and changes in quality of life. This prospective study included women over 18 years old and between 27 and 41 weeks pregnant, and excluded women with fetal malformations, multiple fetuses, premature rupture of membranes, and in labor. Forty-six pregnant women were selected and divided into two groups of ≤3 and ≥4 visits. Statistically significant improvements were observed in the intensity of maximum low back pain (7.54 ± 1.47 vs. 3.815 ± 1.73, p ≤ 0.01) and minimum low back pain (5.67 ± 2.03 vs. 3.111 ± 1.67, p ≤ 0.01), maximum pelvic pain (6.54 ± 2.22 vs. 2.77 ± 1.64, p = 0.01), and minimum pelvic pain (5.615 ± 2.21 vs. 2.615 ± 1.66, p = 0.01). Both groups achieved improvements in quality of life indices, with the improvements achieved by the ≥4-visits group being statistically significant. Osteopathic treatment was effective in reducing the intensity of lumbar and pelvic pain and in improving the quality of life of pregnant women in the third trimester.
