    (2014) Pekyavas, Nihan Ozunlu; Tunay, Volga Bayrakci; Akbayrak, Turkan; Kaya, Serap; Karatas, Metin; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0603-5688; 25066648
    Purpose: The purpose of our study was to investigate the effects of Kinesio Taping (R) Application with Complex Decongestive Therapy (CDT) in patients with lymphedema. Materials and Methods: 45 patients were randomly divided into 3 groups (CDT including Bandage, CDT including Bandage + Kinesio Tape (R), CDT including Kinesio Tape (R) without bandage). Assessments included the severity of the symptoms such as pain, discomfort, heaviness, tension, stiffness and weakness. Bilateral circumference measurements were done for evaluation of the edema. Results: Symptoms were decreased in all three groups (p < 0.05). CDT was found effective only during treatment in arm volume (p < 0.05). Kinesio Taping (R) applied with CDT had effect of decreasing edema after 10 days of treatment period (p < 0.05) and for control period (p < 0.05). Only the application of Kinesio Taping (R) group also had significant decrease at edema (p <0.05). Conclusion: Kinesio Taping (R) Application along with CDT may have a better effect on decreasing lymphedema which can stimulate the reduction of edema for long term effects. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

    (2020) Dogan, Hanife; Eroglu, Semra; Akbayrak, Turkan; 32379659
    The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of kinesio taping and lifestyle changes on pain, body awareness, and quality of life in individuals with primary dysmenorrhea (PD). Subjects in the first group underwent kinesio taping and lifestyle changes and subjects in the second group were instructed only lifestyle changes. The pain levels were evaluated using a visual analogue scale, menstrual symptoms using the Menstrual Symptom Questionnaire, health-related life quality using the Short Form-36, and changes in body awareness using the Body Awareness Questionnaire form. Pain intensity decreased, and body awareness and quality of life increased in both groups (p < 0.05). However, in the first group, pain severity decreased more, and body awareness and quality of life increased more (p < 0.05). As a result, it is thought that both kinesio taping and lifestyle changes can be used to improve quality of life and body awareness and to decrease pain level.
