Study's Objective: this study aimed to discover the effect of combining electroacupuncture with therapeutic exercises on of symphysis pubis dysfunction during pregnancy.A prospective randomized controlled trial that compared 2 groups of participants was executed. 60 primipara and multipara pregnant women at 25-28 weeks' of gestation diagnosed with symphysis pubis dysfunction were involved. Group A included participants who joined six-week physiotherapy sessions composed of electroacupuncture technique combined with relevant therapeutic exercise, wore a pelvic belt and received pieces of advice. While, group B involved control participants who followed the routine care and received advice as well as put on the same pelvic belt as group A participants.The intervention was associated with a statistically significant pain reduction and much less progression of inter-pubic gap widening among group A participants.In summary, electroacupuncture should be integrated into a multimodal care plan, combining stabilizing exercises and ergonomic advice, while adhering to the listed safety exclusions to improve quality of life for women suffering from symphysis pubis dysfunction during pregnancy.
