“…Physical therapy advice plays a major role in the management of pain in pregnancy which largely has a musculoskeletal component 15,20 . TENS can be used in the management of back pain and nerve entrapment syndromes 26 . Placement of electrodes on the anterior abdominal wall should be avoided as this carries the risk of precipitating labour (with electricity having historically been used to induce labour 27 ).…”

s u m m a r y p o i n t s• The hormonal and mechanical changes which result from pregnancy have the capacity to exacerbate existing chronic pain conditions as well as produce pain unique to this physiological and anatomical state.• Pain in pregnancy is very common and can impact negatively on maternal satisfaction with the pregnancy.• Management of pain requires a multidisciplinary, biopsychosocial approach. The possible presence of co-existing pathology and obstetric conditions must be borne in mind when assessing pain in pregnancy.• Treatment of pain in pregnancy should focus on non-pharmacological interventions in the first instance with due consideration of the risk of medications to the mother, fetus and the course of the pregnancy.

In the absence of any published randomised controlled or quasi-randomised controlled trials, the objective evidence base for treatment choices in meralgia paraesthetica is weak. High quality observational studies report comparable high improvement rates for meralgia paraesthetica following local injection of corticosteroid and surgical interventions (either nerve decompression or neurectomy). However, a similar outcome has been reported without any intervention in a single natural history study.
