To investigate the effects of kinesio tape (KT) application on pain, anxiety, and menstrual complaints in women with PD and compare this application with control and sham tape (ST).
Fifty-one women with PD were randomized into three groups: KT, ST, and control groups. No tape application was performed in the control group. KT was applied on the sacral and suprapubic regions with the ligament technique in the KT group, while it was applied on the trochanter major with no technique in the ST group. Pain, anxiety level, and menstrual complaints were assessed before and after the applications.
The decreases in pain, anxiety levels, and some menstrual complaints after the application were higher in the KT group than those in the other two groups (p < 0.05).
KT application seems to be an effective method in decreasing pain, anxiety level, and some menstrual complaints in women with PD.
探讨运动贴布(KT)应用对 PD 女性疼痛、焦虑和月经问题的影响,并将其与对照组和假贴布(ST)进行比较。
将 51 名 PD 女性随机分为三组:KT 组、ST 组和对照组。对照组不进行贴布应用。KT 组采用韧带技术在骶骨和耻骨区域贴布,ST 组则在大转子处贴布而不采用任何技术。在应用前后评估疼痛、焦虑水平和月经问题。
KT 组在应用后疼痛、焦虑水平和一些月经问题的下降幅度高于其他两组(p<0.05)。
KT 应用似乎是一种有效方法,可减轻 PD 女性的疼痛、焦虑水平和一些月经问题。
