    The Effects of Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization and Kinesio Taping on Pain, Functional Disability and Depression in Patients with Chronic Low Back Pain: A Randomized Trial
    (2022) Cakmak, Ozge; Atici, Emine; Gulsen, Mustafa
    Purpose: Low back pain is a common condition that can become chronic, which reduces the life quality of the patient by causing functional disability and depression. This study aimed to investigate the effects of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) and kinesio taping (KT) along with conservative treatment in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNLBP). Methods: A total of 30 patients with chronic low back pain aged between 30-50 years included in the study were randomized to IASTM (n=15) and KT (n=15) groups. Both the groups underwent conservative treatment that comprised of a hot pack, ultrasound, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and home exercises. In this study, assessments were made using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The measurements were carried out at the beginning and end of the treatment. Results: As a result of the study, IASTM method improved in parameters such as pain (p<0.05), functionality (p=0.001) and depression (p<0.05). As a result of the study, the KT group improved in parameters such as pain, functionality and depression compared to pre-treatment (p<0.05). However, the two treatments were not superior to each other in pain (p=0.241), functionality (p=0.687) and depression (p=0.699) parameters. Conclusion: It has been observed that both treatments have positive effects on many parameters such as pain, disability, depression and mental state in patients with CNLBP. This study demonstrates that IASTM and KT treatments can be used to support therapeutic effects in patients with CNLBP.

    The effect of elastic therapeutic taping and rigid taping on pain, functionality, and tissue temperature in lumbar radiculopathy: a randomized controlled study
    (2021) Bozkurt, Tugce; Kilic, Rabia Tugba; Yosmaoglu, Hayri Baran; 34635000
    Purpose To compare the therapeutic effects of different taping materials and techniques on pain, functionality, and tissue temperature in patients with lumbar radiculopathy. Methods: Patients with lumbar radiculopathy were included in the study (n = 51). Patients were randomly divided into three groups, which were the elastic taping (n = 17), rigid taping (n = 17), and placebo taping groups (n = 17). All patients were enrolled in a physiotherapy and rehabilitation program that included thermotherapy, electrotherapy, and exercise five times a week for 2 weeks. The pain was measured before and after treatment using the Visual Analogue Scale. Functionality and quality of life were measured using the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire and Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire. The tissue temperature of the treated area in the lumbar region was measured by digital electronic infra-red thermography. Results: After the treatment, pain, functionality, and quality of life were improved in all groups (p < 0.05). Elastic taping was more effective in decreasing pain and increasing functionality than placebo taping (p < 0.05), but no difference was observed between placebo taping and rigid tapping. Local tissue temperature did not change before and after treatment in the elastic taping group (p > 0.05). Tissue temperature increased in the rigid and placebo taping groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Taping therapy in patients with lumbar radiculopathy has a positive effect on pain and functional status. Elastic taping can be recommended for clinical use because its effect is superior in some recovery parameters and its ease of use.
