NCT ID NCT07158957
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a digital program called WOMENinMOTION for pregnant women with or without pelvic girdle pain. The program provides pain education, exercise videos, and tips to stay active, with extra physiotherapy if needed. Researchers will track 592 women for up to 2 years after birth to see if the program improves physical activity, function, and reduces chronic pain.

- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could give pregnant women a simple, scalable way to manage pelvic pain and reduce their risk of chronic pain after childbirth.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial testing a behavioral intervention, not a drug. Results depend on women's engagement, and the effect may be modest or not last long-term.
