Effect of Pelvic Proprioception Training on Low Back Pain and Functional Mobility in Multiparous women : A Randomized Controlled Trial

This dataset contains anonymized clinical data collected from a randomized controlled trial conducted to evaluate the effect of pelvic proprioception training on low back pain and functional mobility in multiparous women with chronic low back pain. A total of 50 participants were initially recruited using simple random sampling, out of which 44 participants completed the study after accounting for dropouts. Participants were randomly allocated into two groups: an experimental group (pelvic proprioception training with conventional physiotherapy) and a control group (conventional physiotherapy only). Baseline and post-intervention data were collected over a two-week intervention period. The dataset includes demographic variables (age, body mass index, obstetric score), group allocation, and outcome measures assessed using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) for pain intensity and the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) for functional mobility. All measurements were recorded at baseline (pre-test) and after completion of the intervention (post-test). The dataset is intended for reproducibility, secondary analysis, and comparison of conservative physiotherapy interventions in multiparous women with chronic low back pain.
Eligible participants were multiparous women aged above 18 years with chronic low back pain persisting for more than six months postpartum. Participants were recruited from physiotherapy outpatient departments after obtaining written informed consent. Baseline assessment included demographic details, obstetric history, pain intensity measured using NPRS, and functional disability assessed using ODI. Following baseline assessment, participants were randomized into either the experimental or control group using a lottery method. The control group received conventional physiotherapy exercises, while the experimental group received pelvic proprioception training along with conventional exercises. Post-intervention assessments using the same outcome measures were conducted after two weeks.
