Study of body pain sensitivity during pregnancy
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at “central sensitization,” which means the nervous system may become more sensitive to pain, in pregnant people. It aims to understand pain changes during pregnancy and how different factors may affect them.

This trial tests a program called WOMENinMOTION designed to help pregnant women with pelvic girdle pain (pain around the pelvis or lower back). It aims to see if this approach can reduce pain and improve daily life during pregnancy.
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.
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.
This study looks at why some women develop ongoing pain in the lower back or pelvis during pregnancy. It tests how your body's sense of movement, fear of pain, and inflammation might be related. You may join if you are early in a single pregnancy and do not have that pain yet.
This study tests whether a specially designed exercise program can help reduce pelvic girdle pain during pregnancy. It’s for pregnant women who have pelvic pain and are early enough in their pregnancy to safely participate.
This trial looks at how the nervous system and fear of pain may affect pain after a planned hysterectomy. If you qualify, you may be asked about pain levels and pain sensitivity to better understand who may have more pain recovery challenges.
