Abstract:
Lower back pain is a pain at lumbar region, above the sacrum. It is characterized as a dull aching pain which is associated with restriction in spine movement. Globally it is a common complaint during pregnancy and also after delivery. It is still controversial whether spinal or general anesthesia for cesarean section is associated with lower back pain. Considering the increase in cesarean section rates in recent years and the negative impact of this kind of pain on a mother, assessing lower back pain with types of anesthesia delivered will enable to fill the gap in awareness and creates better clinical management strategies.
