Treatments of pelvic girdle pain in pregnant women: adverse effects of standard treatment acupuncture and stabilising exercises on the pregnancy mother delivery and the fetuseonate

摘要

BackgroundPrevious publications indicate that acupuncture is efficient for the treatment of pelvic girdle pain, PGP, in pregnant women. However, the use of acupuncture for PGP is rare due to insufficient documentation of adverse effects of this treatment in this specific condition. The aim of the present work was to assess adverse effects of acupuncture on the pregnancy, mother, delivery and the fetuseonate in comparison with women that received stabilising exercises as adjunct to standard treatment or standard treatment alone.
