Clinical Trial Summary

Previous evidence has shown that kinesio tape application reduces pain levels and improves disability in patients with chronic low back pain due to lumbar disc herniation. However, it is not known, whether the dynamic taping can decrease back pain, improve endurance of paraspinal muscles, and improve functional capacity in patients with lumbar disk herniation. The aim of the current study is to examine the acute effects of dynamic taping on pain, pain threshold, endurance, balance, lumbar joint mobility and functionality in patients with lumbar disc herniation.


Clinical Trial Description

The study will include 34 volunteer adult patients who have been diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation according to the physical examination and magnetic resonance imaging and have referred to the physiotherapy and rehabilitation service by a specialist physician. The patients will be divided into 2 groups as dynamic tape (n=17) and sham tape (n=17). Patients' pain will be evaluated with Numerical Rating Scale, pain threshold Jtech Commander digital algometer, lumbar muscle endurance Modified Sorenson Test, balance functional reach test, lumbar joint mobility universal goniometer and functional movement levels of patients with timed get up and go test. Evaluations will be carried out in 3 stages: before taping, 2 hours after taping and 3 days after taping. The measurements of the dynamic and sham taping applications of the 2 hours after and 3 days will be compared with the pre-taping and post taping results between two groups. The outcomes of the study will be analyzed by appropriate statistical methods. ;
