Study of Core Stability and Pelvic Clock Exercises to Reduce Pain and Improve Quality of Life in Postpartum Women with Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating the effects of two exercise programs on postpartum females aged 25 to 35 with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. This randomized controlled trial compares core stability exercises alone to core stability combined with pelvic clock exercises. The study aims to measure their impact on pain, disability, and quality of life using standardized tools such as the Numeric Pain Rating Scale, Oswestry Disability Index, and WHOQOL-BREF. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. The experimental group will perform modified core stability and pelvic clock exercises designed for postpartum safety, while the control group will perform only core stability exercises. Both treatments last for eight weeks with sessions three times per week. Core stability exercises involve two sets of ten repetitions each session, while pelvic clock exercises are performed in a hook-lying position for two to three minutes per session. Participants will attend exercise sessions lasting about one hour each over the eight-week period. Pain intensity, disability, and quality of life will be assessed at the end of the treatment. Data collected will be analyzed to compare outcomes between groups. The total study duration is approximately ten months following approval, with recruitment and treatment taking place at selected hospitals.
