Low back pain during pregnancy: prevalence, risk factors, and outcomes.

This current study by Wang and Dezinno published in ObGyn reported that: The majority of respondents reported that LBP- Low Back Pain during pregnancy caused sleep disturbances and impaired daily living. The average pain was moderate in severity. Nearly 30% of respondents stopped performing at least one daily activity because of pain and reported that pain also impaired the performance of other routine tasks. Only 32% of the respondents with LBP during pregnancy informed their prenatal care providers of this problem, and only 25% of prenatal care providers recommended a treatment.

The study concludes that low back pain during pregnancy is a common problem that causes hardship in this population.
