About

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of Silver Spike Point Therapy (SSPT) therapy on pelvic girdle pain and functional activities in pregnancy.The finding of this study will help to establish the role of SSPT therapy to relieve pelvic girdle pain in pregnant females along with exercises. SSP for pelvic girdle pain management can prove to be a useful method. The findings of this study can play a role to establish more rigorous treatment plans for pelvic girdle pain in the pregnant population in the future.

Full description

This study will be a randomized clinical trial that will investigate the effectiveness of silver spike point therapy and manual therapy in subjects with pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain. Subjects with pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain meeting the predetermined inclusion & exclusion criteria will be divided into two groups using the lottery method. Pre-assessment will be done using NPRS and PGPQ as subjective measurements and PSFS as objective measurements. Subjects in one group will be treated with silver spike point therapy and manual therapy, the other will be treated with manual therapy only. Each subject will receive 10 treatment sessions, with 05 treatment sessions per week. Post-treatment reading for NPRS, PGPQ, and PSFS will be recorded after the end of the 10th treatment session. Recorded values will be analyzed for any significant difference between pre and post-treatment values SPSS 21.
