Summary
Headache and backache are common symptoms following childbirth. The incidence of these symptoms have been shown to increase during the postpartum period between 5 to 12 months following delivery. By 12 months postpartum up to 45% and 65% of women experience headache and backache, respectively. While studies have reported headache and backache as frequently persistent symptoms beyond the first year postpartum, few studies have specifically interrogated women seeking specialist pain physician input or identified predisposing risk factors. Finally there is little known about typically described pain characteristics of women who suffer with chronic postpartum headache and backache. We aim to compare the prevalence of chronic headache in women that have versus have not experienced childbirth.
