Many pregnant women have experienced low back pain (LBP) during pregnancy and after delivery, and it has been an important component in women health. This study was designed to investigate the characteristics and management of the LBP in postpartum women. Eighty-five postpartum women were participated in this survey. Mean age of 85 women was 28.1 years. Of 85 postpartum women, 55.3% (n=47) had LBP after pregnancy. Thirty of 47 women had pain on lumbar region, 17 postpartum women had pain on sacroilium region. Of 85 postpartum women, 74% (n=54) had LBP before pregnancy and 71.8% (n=61) had LBP during pregnancy. Of 47 postpartum women who had LBP, 83% (n=39) had not received medical management for LBP, 12.8% (n=6) took medication, and 4.3% (n=2) performed self-exercise. None of postpartum women had received physical therapy during pregnancy and after delivery for treatment low back pain. The pain in SI region was more severe than in lumbar region after pregnancy according to VAS (visual analog scale) (p<.05). However, there was no significant difference in VAS scores between SI pain and lumbar pain before and during pregnancy (p>.05). Pain region after delivery was related to pain region of pre-pregnancy and during pregnancy (p<.01). Pain level after delivery was related to the pain and night pain level during pregnancy (p<.01).

Purpose: The study was to explore the level of low back pain and characteristic factors influencing low back pain (LBP) and mental health during pregnancy. Methods: The subjects were a total of 383 healthy pregnant women in S City and K-Do. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation. Results: 82.5% of the pregnant women answered the existence of LBP and 19.7% of them had high LBP. The preferred method of controlling LBP was 'Just endure'(42.3%). There were significant differences in pregnancy level (p<.05) and discomfort condition related to pregnancy (p<.01) according to low back pain. There were significant differences in pain intensity according to mental health. The correlation between pain level and pregnancy weeks (p<.001) and BMI in previous pregnancy (p<.001) was significant. The correlation between mental health and age was significant (p<.001). Conclusion: The majority of the pregnant women experienced LBP during pregnancy. However, they were not offered the best method of controlling the pain. Thus, for preventing LBP during pregnancy, we recommend regular exercises and BMI control.

본 연구는 4주간 테이핑을 병행한 스위스 볼 운동이 임신성 요통환자의 통증과 기능장애 및 삶의 질에 미치는 효과를 규명하기 위하여 실시되었다. 단일 맹검 및 사전 무작위 임상시험으로 진행되었으며, 16명의 임신성 요통 환자는 무작위로 테이핑과 스위스 볼 운동군(n=8)과 테이핑과 신장 운동군(n=8)으로 배정되었다. 모든 대상자는 허리에 테이핑을 적용하였다. 추가적으로 테이핑과 스위스 볼 운동군은 스위스 볼 운동을 하루 30분, 주 5회, 4주간 시행하였고 테이핑과 신장 운동군은 같은 시간동안 스트레칭 운동을 적용하였다. 통증은 시각사상척도(VAS)를 사용하여 측정하였고, 기능장애는 Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), 삶의 질은 Short-Form 36 items (SF-36)을 사용하였다. 훈련 후 테이핑과 스위스 볼 운동군이 테이핑과 신장 운동군에 비해 통증과 기능장애, 삶의 질이 유의하게 개선되었다(p<.05). 본 연구는 테이핑을 병행한 스위스 볼운동이 임산부의 요통과 기능장애 및 삶의 질을 효과적으로 향상시킴을 증명하였다.
