Low back pain in third-trimester pregnant women, caused by hormonal surges and shifts in the body's center of gravity, risks reducing daily productivity and quality of life. This quantitative quasi-experimental study evaluated the effectiveness of warm compress intervention in reducing low back pain among 32 third-trimester pregnant women at the Payung Sekaki Public Health Center in Pekanbaru, selected via purposive sampling using a one-group pre-test and post-test design. Pain levels were measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) before and after administering warm compresses at 36°C–37°C for 15–20 minutes. Prior to therapy, pain levels were predominantly moderate (43.8%) and severe (40.6%), whereas post-therapy pain shifted significantly to mild (46.9%) and moderate (40.6%) categories. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test yielded Z = -4.986 with p≤ 0.001 (p ≤ 0.05), rejecting H0 and accepting Ha.
