Effect of Diaphragmatic Release in Sleep Quality During Pregnancy

February 15, 2024 updated by: shaimaa Mohamed hamed, MTI University

Effect of Diaphragmatic Release in Sleep Quality During Pregnancy, Randomized Controlled Trail

Sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is very common during pregnancy, and is most likely explained by hormonal, physiological and physical changes. Maternal obesity, one of the major risk factors for SDB, together with physiological changes in pregnancy may predispose women to develop SDB. SDB has been associated with poor maternal and fetal outcomes. Thus, early identification, diagnosis and treatment of SDB are important in pregnancy.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
pittshurgh sleep quality index
Time Frame: 1 month
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a self-report questionnaire that assesses sleep quality over a 1-month time interval. The measure consists of 19 individual items, creating 7 components that produce one global score, and takes 5-10 minutes to complete. Developed by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh,
1 month

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
diaphragmatic excursion assessment
Time Frame: 1 month
diaphragmatic excursion assessment is that measures the movement of the thoracic diaphragm during breathing. Normal diaphragmatic excursion should be 3-5 cm, but can be increased in well-conditioned persons to 7-8 cm2.
