However, this thought is not entirely in agreement with other scientific publications. Therefore it is necessary to pay attention to online searches which often answer these questions without taking EBM into account.None of the studies reported above take into consideration the time factor. In fact, all the studies have evaluated the immediate changes brought about by heel raising. Women who complain of lower back pain when wearing high-heeled shoes rarely experience pain as soon as they start wearing them.The objective of the research arises from these considerations. The aim of this study (primary outcome) is to investigate whether wearing high-heeled shoes for at least 2 hours modifies the spinopelvic parameters compared to the barefoot condition and as soon as the shoes are worn.The secondary outcome will be to verify in the sample analyzed whether there are different behaviors between the subgroups of those who have complained in their anamnesis and those who have never complained of lower back pain when using high-heeled shoes for a few hours., conditionsModule conditions: Low Back Pain, conditions: Healthy, designModule studyType: OBSERVATIONAL, designInfo observationalModel: CASE_ONLY, timePerspective: CROSS_SECTIONAL, enrollmentInfo count: 34, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: heel hight shoes, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: effect of high-heeled shoes on trunk inclination, primaryOutcomes measure: effect of high-heeled shoes on pelvic inclination, primaryOutcomes measure: effect of high-heeled shoes on lordotic angle, primaryOutcomes measure: effect of high-heeled shoes on kyphotic angle, primaryOutcomes measure: effect of high-heeled shoes on lumbar arrow, primaryOutcomes measure: effect of high-heeled shoes on cervical arrow, secondaryOutcomes measure: different response on trunk inclination between the subgroups (suffering from back pain and asymptomatic), secondaryOutcomes measure: different response on pelvic inclination between the subgroups (suffering from back pain and asymptomatic), secondaryOutcomes measure: different response on lordotic angle between the subgroups (suffering from back pain and asymptomatic), secondaryOutcomes measure: different response on kyphotic angle between the subgroups (suffering from back pain and asymptomatic), secondaryOutcomes measure: different response on lumbar arrow between the subgroups (suffering from back pain and asymptomatic), secondaryOutcomes measure: different response on cervical arrow between the subgroups (suffering from back pain and asymptomatic), eligibilityModule sex: FEMALE, minimumAge: 20 Years, maximumAge: 40 Years, stdAges: ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Spine Center, status: RECRUITING, city: Bologna, zip: 40128, country: Italy, contacts name: Saverio Colonna, MD, role: CONTACT, phone: +39 051 095 2375, email: direzione@spine-center.it, geoPoint lat: 44.49381, lon: 11.33875, documentSection largeDocumentModule largeDocs typeAbbrev: Prot_SAP, hasProtocol: True, hasSap: True, hasIcf: False, label: Study Protocol and Statistical Analysis Plan, date: 2024-02-10, uploadDate: 2024-02-10T21:29, filename: Prot_SAP_000.pdf, size: 222277, hasResults: False
