Studying pelvic pain causes in multiple or first pregnancies
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at why pelvic girdle pain happens during pregnancy, focusing on body sensing (proprioception), stress factors, and inflammation. You may be able to help researchers understand the causes and who is most at risk.
