Abstract: Objective: This study aims to compare the effect of exercises vs standard antenatal care in back pain during the third trimester in primigravida females. Methods: The study comprises 60 primigravida females fulfilling the inclusion criteria. The sample was randomly divided into two groups, group A received a specialized exercise program under supervision, and group B received standard antenatal care. The pre-post VAS and Modified ODI were reported for comparison in both groups. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and t-test. Results: The results showed that group a over-performed group B. Conclusion: The study concluded that a specialized exercise program is far better than standard antenatal care in reducing back pain intensity during the third trimester in primigravida females. A supervised exercise program must be included during pregnancy to minimize discomfort and improve the overall functional quality of life.
