Objective: To analyze the number of pregnant women with low back pain and its characteristics, to identify the impact on activities of daily living and to correlate the functional disability degree with the quality of life in pregnant women at first and second trimester.
Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional, observational and descriptive study that was performed with pregnant women attended in a maternity at Lagarto/SE. The evaluation of disability induced by low back pain was performed by the Roland-Morris questionnaire and the evaluation of the quality of life was made by the Medical Outcomes Study-36.
Results: The sample was divided at first (GI; n=19) and second trimester (GII; n=19). The prevalence of low back pain was 84.2% in GI and 78.9% in GII (p=0.334). The pain started during pregnancy in 75% in GI and in 73.3% in GII (p=0.784). Regarding the factors that worsed the pain, 62.5% in GI and 33.3% in GII reported that they stay in the same position and. In order to decrease the pain, the rest was the factor most cited in the groups (p<0.001). In the Roland-Morris questionnaire, the average score was 7.16±4.80 in GI and 7.79±5.55 in GII. In the quality of life assessment, the most affected domains were the vitality in GI (51.32±21.27) (p=0.484) and the limitation by emotional aspects in GII (52.63±43.48) (p=0.623). The less affected domains were functional ability in GI (70±29.11) (p=0.784) and social aspects in GII (73.68±32.78) (p=0.661).
Conclusion: The gestational low back pain mainly affects primigravidae and young women, interferes with vitality and emotional aspects, causing impacts in activities of daily living. However, the pain does not disable the pregnant women during the first and second trimesters.
