Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to compare the acute effects of different kinesiology tapes on pain, functional performance and trunk endurance in young adults with chronic low back pain. Seventy young adults with chronic low back pain between the ages of 18-40 were included in our study. The individuals included in our study were divided into two groups by a simple randomization method. Star-shaped kinesiology taping was applied to the 1st group, and I-shaped kinesiology taping was applied to the 2nd group. The demographic and physical characteristics of the individuals who agreed to participate in the study were recorded. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) to evaluate pain before taping, immediately after taping and 4 days after taping, Oswestry low back pain disability scale (OLBPDS) to assess disability level, Lumbar Flexion Repeat Speed Test, Sit-and-Stand Test to evaluate functional performance in both groups. Biering Sorenson Test was applied to evaluate the forward bending test with weight and trunk endurance.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Kinesiological Tape Application	The individuals included in our study were divided into two groups by a simple randomization method. Star-shaped kinesiology taping was applied to the 1st group, and I-shaped kinesiology taping was applied to the 2nd group.	4 days
Secondary	Visual Analogue Scale	Patients were asked to mark the pain they felt on a 10 cm scale between '0' (I have no pain) and '10' (I have unbearable pain), the distance between the marked point and the starting point was measured and recorded as data.	4 days
Secondary	Oswestry Scale	The Turkish version of the Oswestry Scale was applied to individuals to measure the low back pain disability level of the individuals. The study on the validity of the questionnaire was conducted by Yakut et al. In this scale, there are 10 questions evaluating various activities of daily living and 6 options for each question with a score between 0 and 5. 0-4 points as no disability, 5-14 points as mild, 15-24 points as moderate, 25-34 points as severe and 35-50 points as complete functional disability. The lowest score obtained from the scale is 0, and the highest score is 50. A score of 50 indicates the maximum level of functional disability.	4 days
Secondary	Lumbar Flexion Repeat Speed Test	To evaluate functional performance. Before starting the test, warm-up flexion was performed 3 times, and the individual was asked to bend forward 10 times as fast as he could, while standing and both heels together, and to straighten as fast as he could again. The chronometer was started with the start command, the chronometer was stopped after 10 consecutive flexion and extension were completed, and the elapsed time was recorded in seconds.	4 days
Secondary	Sit-and-Stand Test	To evaluate functional performance is the Sit-Up test (OKHT). After sitting on a chair, the individual was asked to get up and sit down as fast as he could 5 times, the chronometer was started with the start command, and the elapsed time was recorded in seconds after the last sitting was completed.	4 days
Secondary	Biering Sorenson Test	to assess the trunk endurance. Trunk Extensor Muscle Endurance (Biering-Sorensen Test): The individual was prone placed by hanging from the bed from the anterior superior of the spina iliaca, and was fixed at the gastrocnemius muscle level. He was asked to keep his torso parallel to the ground by clasping his hands on the chest. The time that parallelism was maintained was recorded.	4 days
