Orthopedics in Pregnancy: Exploring Challenges and Solutions.
Article in Journal of pharmacy & bioallied sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Pregnancy is associated with significant musculoskeletal adaptations due to hormonal, biomechanical, and postural changes. These often result in conditions such as low back pain (LBP), pelvic girdle pain (PGP), transient osteoporosis of the hip (TOH), and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), impacting maternal health and quality of life. To explore common orthopedic challenges during pregnancy, review underlying mechanisms, and evaluate current and emerging management strategies. A literature review was conducted using databases including PubMed and Scopus, covering publications from 2000 to 2024. Studies addressing the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and management of pregnancy-related musculoskeletal conditions were analyzed. LBP and PGP are the most frequently reported issues, largely due to ligamentous laxity and altered posture. TOH and CTS, though less common, present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Physical therapy remains the mainstay of treatment, supported by evidence for interventions such as kinesio taping, acupuncture, and psychological support. Multidisciplinary approaches improve maternal outcomes; however, limited standardized diagnostic criteria and insufficient data on long-term effects hinder optimal care. Musculoskeletal disorders in pregnancy are common and affect daily functioning. Early diagnosis and individualized, non-invasive multidisciplinary management are essential. Further research is required to refine diagnostic protocols and evaluate the efficacy of emerging therapeutic modalities.
