Distasis rectus abdominis (DRA) is defined as the presence of divergence between the rectus abdominis muscles along the linea alba. Some authors describe a prevalence of 40% in women up to one year postpartum. Some studies suggest that the presence of DRA can be related to the appearance of low back, pelvic and abdominal pain and even urinary incontinence. These factors can significantly affect the quality of life of women with diastasis both socially, sexual and personal level. According to several studies, this pathology is related to higher rates of depression and an alteration in the self-perception of body image that makes these women to look to specialized medical care.\n\nAt present, the quantitative evaluation of DRA is performed purely anatomically. This evaluation consists in measuring the separation between the two rectus abdominis. Currently there is no consensus as to the protocol that should be used for this measurement.\n\nSo far, no instrument is able to quantitatively measure the consequences of DRA. The evaluation of symptoms and consequences should include relevant parameters such as quality of life, perception of body image and functional limitations.\n\nThe objective of this study is the creation and validation of a specific questionnaire to evaluate the symptoms and consequences of DRA.\n\nMaterial and methods. A) Development of the questionnaire\n\n1. Literature review\n2. Online survey\n3. Expert panel\n4. Pilot test of the questionnaire\n\nB) Validation of the questionnaire.

It is mainly caused by excessive intra-abdominal pressure. The abdominal muscles and connective structures expand from the growing uterus during pregnancy. Low back pain is a prevalent complaint that can result from various factors, including weakened core muscles and functional disability. The aim of the study would assess of combined effect of visceral manipulation and noble technique on Inter-rectal distance, low back pain and functional disability in post-partum females with diastasis recti.",[31],[298,299,300,301],"Diastasis recti","Low back pain","Post partum females","Visceral manipulation","2024-06-11",{"date":304,"type":42},"2024-06-14",{"date":306,"type":20},"2024-06",{"date":308,"type":20},"2024-09",{"name":79,"class":49},{"id":311,"slug":312,"hasResults":11,"nctId":313,"briefTitle":314,"officialTitle":315,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":316,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":58,"minAge":17,"maxAge":89,"enrollmentInfo":317,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":21,"phases":319,"briefSummary":320,"conditions":321,"keywords":4,"overallStatus":38,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":324,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":325,"startDateStruct":327,"completionDateStruct":328,"leadSponsor":330,"locationsCount":4},"100532580","diastasis-recti-abdominis-and-a-combined-treatment-with-abdominal-exercise-and-radiofrequency-100532580","NCT06214650","Diastasis Recti Abdominis and a Combined Treatment With Abdominal Exercise and Radiofrequency","Efficacy of a Combined Treatment With Abdominal Exercise and Radiofrequency in Postpartum Women With Diastasis Recti Abdominis","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Women diagnosed with diastasis recti abdominis (DRA)\n* Age range18-45 years old\n* Women not DRA treated previously\n* Women not diagnosed with umbilical hernia\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* DRA width less than 2.5cm\n* Women diagnosed with intestinal disease such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or Chron disease.\n* Women looking for a new pregnancy or pregnant women.\n* Women who can not receive diathermy treatment (e.g tumoral process, open wound in the abdominal area or any diathermy contraindication).",{"count":318,"type":20},44,[23],"Diastasis recti abdominis is a pathology that appears in a high percentage of women during the postpartum period. However, there is little evidence about its treatment. The present protocol aims to evaluate the efficacy of radiofrequency as an alternative for the treatment of abdominal diastasis along with abdominal exercises compared to the only intervention through abdominal exercise.\n\nAn aleatory clinical testing will be conducted where 44 women diagnosed with diastasis recti abdominis in the postpartum period will be recruited. A common exercise protocol will be applied for two groups of participants, and both of them will have to be able to carry out the activities autonomously at home. In addition, control sessions will be held weekly for both groups where one of the groups, the control group (n=22), will receive radiofrequency therapy with the machine in athermic mode, while the other group, the experimental group (n=22), will receive a weekly session under the established diathermy protocol. The sessions will last 30 minutes and will take place for 10 consecutive weeks.\n\nThree variables will be evaluated: the width of the diastasis measured in centimeters, life quality measured using the Short form (36) questionnaire, and the perception of the pain measured with the visual analogue scale.
