Low back pain is one of the most important causes of morbidity.
This study was designed to evaluate the effect of Kinesio® taping on pain, functionality, mobility and endurance in chronic low back pain treatment.
Patients with chronic low back pain were randomly divided into three groups. Therapeutic ultrasound, hot packs, and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation were applied to each group for ten sessions during two weeks, and therapeutic exercises were applied in the clinic under physiotherapist supervision starting from the sixth session. Kinesio® tape was applied to the patients in the first group after each treatment session, and placebo tape was applied to the patients in the second group. No taping was applied to the third group, which constituted the control group. All the patients were evaluated pre and post-treatment in respect of pain, functional status (Oswestry scale), flexibility and endurance.
The study included 60 patients (32 females). When the initial demographic and clinical characteristics of the groups were evaluated, all assessment results, except the Oswestry scores, were similar (p= 0.000). When the average changes in the clinical evaluations were evaluated after the treatment, a statistically significant improvement demonstrating the superiority of the taping group was observed in pain, functionality, flexibility and endurance values (p= 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000).
Kinesio® taping in chronic low back pain is an easy and effective method which increases the effectiveness of the treatment significantly in a short period when applied in addition to exercise and electrotherapy methods.
腰痛是发病的最重要原因之一。
本研究旨在评估肌内效贴布在慢性腰痛治疗中对疼痛、功能、活动能力和耐力的影响。
慢性腰痛患者被随机分为三组。在两周内，每组接受十次治疗，包括治疗性超声、热敷和经皮神经电刺激，从第六次治疗开始在物理治疗师的监督下在诊所进行治疗性锻炼。第一组患者在每次治疗后应用肌内效贴布，第二组患者应用安慰剂贴布。第三组作为对照组，不进行贴布治疗。所有患者在治疗前后均就疼痛、功能状态（奥斯威斯量表）、灵活性和耐力进行评估。
该研究纳入了60名患者（32名女性）。在评估各组的初始人口统计学和临床特征时，除奥斯威斯评分外，所有评估结果均相似（p = 0.000）。在评估治疗后的临床评估平均变化时，观察到在疼痛、功能、灵活性和耐力值方面，贴布组具有统计学显著改善，表明其优越性（p = 0.000、0.000、0.000、0.000）。
在慢性腰痛治疗中，肌内效贴布是一种简便有效的方法，当与运动和电疗方法联合应用时，可在短时间内显著提高治疗效果。
