The study duration was one year. The numeric pain rating scale was taken for measuring pain intensity at different levels. Where 0 indicates no pain, 1-3 indicates mild pain (which may be nagging, annoying, and interfering little with activities of daily livings (ADLs)), 4-6 indicates moderate pain (interferes significant with ADLs), and 7-10 indicates severe pain (Disabling, unable to perform ADLs). As per available time, it was decided to include at least 30 subjects in the study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Initially 45 patients were enrolled.

There were no backaches reported in the first trimester, five cases were in the second trimester, and 18 cases were in the third trimester. Of 30 patients, 11 were less than 25 years of age and remaining 19 patients were in the age group of 26-35 years.<\/jats:p>\n
