“…Postural changes related to pregnancy and the postnatal period, such as changes of pelvic alignment and hormonal changes that lead to increased me-chanical stress on bony structures and the surrounding soft tissues, are suggestive causes of SiJ pain [2,7]. Generally, exercise has been documented as the gold standard modality for improving strength, reducing fatigue, and improving quality of life in postpartum women [34]. Posture education has an integral role in restoring normal posture and reducing pain related to various musculoskeletal disorders [9].…”

IntroductionSacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain is a common problem that affects women during and after pregnancy and restricts their daily activities. It can be treated with various physiotherapy interventions, including exercises, patient education, and pain relief modalities, such as laser therapy. A randomised controlled trial study conducted between May and September 2022 to determine the efficacy of low-level laser therapy combined with posture correction exercises on postpartum sacroiliac pain.MethodsSixty postpartum women complaining of SIJ pain, six weeks following vaginal delivery, their ages between 25 and 35 and their BMI not exceeding 30 kg/m2, participated in this study. They were equally and randomly assigned into three groups: A, B and C. Group A received low-level laser therapy, group B received posture correction exercises, and group C received combined low-level laser therapy and posture correction exercises. Pain level was assessed via the Visual Analogue Scale, and the pressure algometry was used to detect pain pressure threshold. Function disability was evaluated by the Oswestry Disability Index. All measurements were taken before and after 6 weeks of the intervention in all groups.ResultsMANOVA was used to detect the difference between treatments and time, and multiple pairwise comparisons with the Bonferroni correction were used to clarify within- and between-groups differences. The within-group comparison showed significant improvement in all variables within each group as p < 0.05. Between-groups post-treatment, there was a significant difference between groups A and B and groups B and C for all variables as p < 0.05, but there were no statistically significant difference between groups A and C for any variables (p > 0.05) except function, with p < 0.05.ConclusionsBased on the study results, adding low-level laser therapy to posture correction exercises in the treatment protocol of postpartum SIJ pain provides better pain relief and functional improvement than when each intervention is used separately.

Introduction: Physical, social, mental, and psychological issues are common in the first few days after giving birth. According to some research, postpartum depression symptoms are linked to high cortisol levels. Postpartum psychological stress causes higher cortisol levels. Objective: The aim of this study was to look at postpartum mother's anxiety and cortisol levels. Methods: An Analytical Survey with a Cross-Sectional Approach is used in this analysis. With simple random sampling, there were 38 samples that met the inclusion criteria. Data was collected using the PSAS questionnaire for anxiety and an ELISA test for cortisol levels. Univariate and Pearson correlation test is used in the data analysis. Results: The majority of postpartum mothers reported mild anxiety in the first 24 hours after childbirth, with an average cortisol level of 10.034ng/ml 47.4%. The average level of the puerperal hormone cortisol in primiparous women was 14.60ng/ml higher than in multiparous women 7.42 ng/dl. Conclusion: With a p-value of 0.017, there was a substantial difference in cortisol levels between primiparous and multiparous postpartum mothers. With a p-value <0.001, there was a close connection between anxiety scores and cortisol levels. Future studies would need to focus on making it easier for postpartum mothers to feel less anxious.

“…Lumbo Pelvic Pain (LPP), or pain in the lower back and pelvic regions, is a common complaint among pregnant and postnatal women, with different prevalence rates [9]. During the puerperium, postpartum women are susceptible to a variety of issues, including exhaustion, sleep difficulties, anxiety, depression, sexual problems, physical dysfunction, and unhappiness with partner support, all of which can negatively impact their quality of life [10].…”

Background: Pregnancy brings a slew of morphological and physiological changes to the body. The gravida must not only nourish the foetus, but also adjust to a new body habit and hormonal changes. These alterations, unsurprisingly, have an impact on the musculoskeletal system, which can lead to a number of issues, such as generalized arthralgias, back pain, separation of the pelvic bones, transient osteoporosis, and tendonitis. Objectives: 1. To assess the pretest and posttest musculoskeletal pain among postpartum women in experimental and control group. 2. To assess the effectiveness of postnatal exercises related to musculoskeletal pain among postpartum women in experimental group. 3. To find association between posttest musculoskeletal pain score among postpartum women with selected demographic variables in experimental and control group. Materials and Methods: Quasi-experimental pretest posttest design is used to assess the effectiveness of postnatal exercises, among postpartum women in selected hospitals of Wardha. 80 sample size taken who fulfils the inclusion criteria, 40 postpartum women for control and 40 for experimental group with non-probability convenience sampling. Expected Results: This study is planned to assess the effectiveness of postnatal exercises to the postpartum women experiencing musculoskeletal pain syndrome. Hence, it is expected to identify the level of pain and may reduce their level of pain. The conclusion will be drawn from the results and will be published in per review journal.
