“…[ 26 – 29 ] It has been reported that most pregnant women experienced LBP throughout the period of their pregnancy, delivery, and even after birth. [ 30 ] Of these, PPLBP was one type of LBP that occurred in pregnancy women after their delivery. [ 20 ] Several treatment options are utilized to treat this special condition.…”

In this retrospective study, we investigated the effect of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in patients with postpartum low back pain (PPLBP).We included 67 patients with PPLBP in this study. All patients received NMES, each session 30 minutes, 1 session weekly for a total of 4 weeks. The primary outcome was measured by the reduction in pain intensity, based on the visual analogue scale (VAS). The secondary outcomes included functional status, measured by the Roland–Morris disability questionnaire (RMDQ), and quality of life, measured by the World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF), as well as the adverse events related to the treatment. The outcome data were evaluated at baseline and at the end of 4-week treatment.After 4-week treatment, NMES did not exert better outcomes in pain relief, measured by VAS, and functional status, measured by RMDQ compared with those before the treatment. In addition, no significant improvement in quality of life, measured by WHOQOL-BREF, compared to it before the treatment.The results of our study did not find that NMES is effective in patients with PPLBP after 4-week treatment.

“…By other studies that state that increased physical stress due to homework can be associated with risk factors for low back pain in pregnant women. (Sencan, Ozcan-Eksi, Cuce, Guzel, & Erdem, 2017) Supported by other studies also revealed that low back pain is most commonly experienced by housewives due to many activities in an unfavorable position, where lower back pain is one of the disorders of the musculoskeletal system caused by daily activities that ignore the problem of body position. (Shonafi, 2012) The decrease in intensity of low back pain in the intervention group was greater than in the control group marked by p-value 0.001 (<0.05).…”

One of the discomforts in third-trimester pregnancy is lower back pain.The prevalence of back pain during pregnancy can reach 80%. The study aims to prove the use of back movement technique to decrease the intensity of low back pain in third trimester pregnant women. The study used quasy-experimental, pretest-posttest with control group design. The sample of the study was third-trimester pregnant women with low back pain totaling 40 respondents. The instrument used to measure back pain in pregnancy is the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS). Data analysis used wilcoxon and man-whitney. There was a decrease in intensity of low back pain before treatment by 4.75 cm and after being given a back movement technique of 1.55 cm (p = 0.001). Back movement technique is proven to be more effective in reducing the intensity of low back pain in third-trimester pregnant women.

“…The prevalence of pregnancy-related LBP and pelvic girdle pain PGP varied wildly between studies, with their prevalence ranging between 3.90% and 89.88% (Kovacs et al, 2012;Wu et al, 2004;Bastiaanssen et al, 2005). It has been demonstrated that about 45% of pregnant women and 25% of postpartum women (from birth till 6 to 8 weeks after birth (Leahy-Warren & McCarthy, 2011)) suffer from either lumbar pain or pelvic girdle pain (Larsen et al, 2013;Sencan et al, 2018). According to a previous study done on nurses from both genders in Jordan, the prevalence of LBP was 69%, 1-year prevalence was 78.9%, while the cumulative prevalence was 83.6%, most of them were females (70.3%) (Suliman, 2018).…”

Background Low back pain (LBP) is considered the most common work-related musculoskeletal disorder among female healthcare workers. The aim of this study is to compare the prevalence of LBP and non-ergonomic risk factors between female nurses, office workers, and patient transporters, and the effect of pain on job performance. Methods Based on semi-structured interviews, we conducted a cross-sectional study on Jordanian female hospital workers between January and July, 2017. Results We included 209 participants with a mean age of 35.57 ± 8 years from four Jordanian medical centers. Nurses have significantly higher frequency of LBP (82.5%; p = 0.05) compared to both office workers (67.5%) and patient transporters (68.6%). The mean difference in pain score using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) after treatment varied significantly (p = 0.003), since it was 28.2 (±35.4) for office workers, compared to 22.8 (±26.5) for nurses and 6.5 (±33.7) for patient transporters. A higher frequency of nurses reported that LBP affected their job performance (64.9%; p = 0.013), and 43.3% of them reported having previous sick leaves due to LBP (p = 0.008). Conclusions LBP is common among female hospital workers, with significantly higher prevalence among female nurses when compared to other female hospital staff.
