This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of a pelvic stabilization belt combined with exercise therapy on pelvic girdle pain and mobility in postpartum women. The study will compare combined pelvic stabilization belt and exercise therapy with exercise therapy alone. Pain, functional mobility, and pelvic girdle-related disability will be assessed to determine whether adding a pelvic stabilization belt provides additional benefits for postpartum women experiencing pelvic girdle pain.

Participants will receive a pelvic stabilization belt combined with standard pelvic floor physical therapy for 4 weeks. The belt will be worn for at least 4 hours per day during functional activities such as walking, standing, household work, and childcare, positioned around the pelvic ring at the level of the greater trochanters. Standard therapy will include patient education on spinal stability, lumbopelvic alignment, posture, ergonomics, infant care, gait, and psychological support, along with pelvic floor muscle training (Kegel exercises).
Device: Pelvic Stabilization Belt · Behavioral: Standard Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
Participants will receive standard pelvic floor physical therapy for 4 weeks without use of a pelvic stabilization belt. Treatment will include patient education on spinal stability, lumbopelvic alignment, posture, ergonomics, breastfeeding and infant handling, gait training, and psychological support, along with pelvic floor muscle training (Kegel exercises) consisting of 5-10 second contractions, 10-15 repetitions per set, and 3-4 sets per day.
Device: Pelvic Stabilization Belt · Behavioral: Standard Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
Participants assigned to the experimental group will use a pelvic stabilization belt in addition to standard pelvic floor physical therapy for 4 weeks. The belt will be positioned around the pelvic ring at the level of the greater trochanters to provide pelvic compression and support pelvic stability. Participants will be instructed to wear the belt for at least 4 hours per day during functional activities, including walking, standing, household work, and childcare activities.
Participants in both groups will receive standard pelvic floor physical therapy for 4 weeks. Treatment will include patient education regarding spinal stability, lumbopelvic alignment, posture, ergonomic strategies for breastfeeding, lifting and infant care, gait training, and psychological support. Pelvic floor muscle training will include Kegel exercises performed in supine or seated positions, with 5-10-second contractions, 10-15 repetitions per set, and 3-4 sets per day, emphasizing isolated pelvic floor muscle activation without compensatory abdominal or gluteal contraction.
Pelvic girdle pain
The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) will be used to assess pelvic girdle pain intensity. It consists of a 10-cm horizontal line ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). Participants will mark the point that best represents their current pain intensity. Higher scores indicate greater pain severity.
Time frame: 4 weeks
Started Aug 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2026, 4 months after the start.
Of 32 interventional studies with no phase under Pelvic Girdle Pain, half reached primary completion within 10 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 6 and three quarters within 59. This study's planned 4 months is below that.
