NCT ID NCT05403424
First seen Jul 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is exploring whether changes in a deep layer of back tissue, called the thoracolumbar fascia, are linked to pelvic girdle pain during pregnancy. Researchers will measure the tissue's stiffness and elasticity in pregnant women with and without pain, as well as in non-pregnant women. The goal is to better understand what causes this common pregnancy-related pain.
