Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study; to investigate the effects of neural therapy and kinesio taping treatments on pain, functional status and quality of life in women with fibromyalgia.


Clinical Trial Description

Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder characterized by widespread pain, fatigue, sleep disturbance, cognitive impairment, and other physical symptoms that negatively affect physical and sensory functions and impair quality of life. Neural therapy and kinesio taping are treatments for musculoskeletal diseases. In this prospective, randomized controlled, double-blind, interventional study, 64 patients aged 18-55 years who met the eligibility criteria will be included in the study. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups using computer generated random numbers. Segmental neural therapy and sham kinesio taping will be applied to the first group. In the second group, kinesio taping with inhibition technique will be applied to bilateral trapezius and erector spina muscles and sham neural therapy will be added. Treatments will be applied once a week for a total of 6 weeks. Both groups will be given a home exercise program consisting of stretching exercises and will be checked every week. During the follow-up period, patients will be asked not to make changes to their current medical treatment. Participants will be evaluated for pain by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), Central Sensitisation Inventory (CSI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), Short Form-36 (SF-36), manual algometer measurements and number of tender points, as well as post-treatment and post-treatment 3 month control data. ;
