Testing the Association Between Low Back Pain Intensity and Core Muscle Strength in Women Who Underwent Cesarean or Vaginal Deliveries

South Valley University·observational·Posted Aug 9, 2022·Updated Oct 2, 2025

In Brief

An observational study evaluating Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Pressure Biofeedback Unit (PBU) for Low Back Pain and Core Muscle. Completed, enrolled 36 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Cesarean delivery (CD) may trigger an increase in low back pain (LBP) intensity and induce core muscle weakness. This study will assess the correlation between low back pain intensity and core muscle strength of transverse abdominis and Lumbar multifidus among women who underwent CD and compare it with those who experienced vaginal delivery.

Interventions

Visual analogue scale (VAS)other

VAS is a reliable and valid method for assessing the intensity of low back pain (LBP)

Pressure Biofeedback Unit (PBU)device

PBU is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring the maximal voluntary isometric contraction of both lumbar multifidus and transversus abdominis muscles (core muscle strength)
