Screening for pelvic pain in early pregnancy
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks to identify pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain in pregnant people early in pregnancy (before 20 weeks). It may help doctors spot who is likely to develop pelvic pain and guide earlier support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You do not have fibromyalgia (a long-term whole-body pain condition)
