Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a short treatment period with Balance Body Tape on the intensity of perceived neck, shoulder and back pain and neck posture.


Description:

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a short treatment period with Balance Body Tape on the intensity of perceived neck, shoulder and back pain and neck posture. Method 26 subjects who reported being university students or having a sedentary work and experiencing pain in neck, back or shoulders were randomized into intervention- (n=12) and control group (n=14). The intervention group received a three-week treatment with BBT, the control group received no treatment. A questionnaire regarding pain, including a Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) measuring pain intensity, and a Photographic posture analysis measurement (PPAM) of habitual sitting posture were accomplished before and after the intervention for both groups. Wilcoxon´s signed rank test and Mann-Whitney U test was used to assess intra- and between group differences respectively. The relationship between pain intensity and CV-angle was assessed using Spearman's rank-order correlation.
