New study tests pelvic clock exercises for postpartum Moms' back pain
NCT ID NCT07440849
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether adding pelvic clock exercises to core stability training can reduce pain and improve quality of life in new mothers with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Fifty women who had vaginal deliveries and have significant pelvic pain will be split into two groups: one doing both core and pelvic clock exercises, the other doing core exercises alone. The goal is to find a simple, drug-free way to help postpartum women feel better and move easier.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- core stability exercises and pelvic clock exercises
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a safe, non-drug exercise program to ease pain and improve daily function for new mothers with sacroiliac joint issues.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 50 participants, so results may not apply to all women. The exercises may not provide significant relief compared to standard care.
