Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Reduction in pain intensity at rest and in motion, increased range of motion of rotation of the lumbar spine and trunk flexion, improves skin sensitivity and deep, improved functionality. To evaluate the reduction of the pain will be used numerical pain scale of 0 to 10, after coughing, in flexion and trunk rotation and during the Timed Up and Go test, the pressure pain will be evaluated with the algometer, range of motion are assessed by fleximeter, the sensitivity will be assessed by monofilament, and functionality through the Timed Up and Go.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Reduced consumption of analgesic medications. Will be measured on the charts of the mothers 24 hours after treatment with Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation.
