The Effect of TheraBand® Kinesiology Tape on Post-manipulation Pain and Range of Motion (TBKTManip)
January 27, 2017 updated by: Sport and Spine Rehab Clinical Research Foundation
The purpose of this study is to determine if post-manipulation elastic therapeutic tape (ETT) with TheraBand® Kinesiology Tape to neck pain patients can impact neck range of motion (ROM) and post-manipulation pain.
A convenience sample of 50 patients, between the ages of 18-64, who present with acute non-complicated postural neck pain will be recruited from an outpatient chiropractic clinic.
Upon providing consent to participate, patients will be randomly assigned into 2 groups; Control Group (manipulation only) and Tape Group (manipulation plus tape).
Pain and neck ROM will be recorded at 3 different intervals: (1) pre-cervical manipulation, (2) within 5 minutes of cervical manipulation, (3) with 24-48 hours after manipulation.

Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to determine if post-manipulation elastic therapeutic tape (ETT) with TheraBand® Kinesiology Tape to neck pain patients can impact neck range of motion (ROM) and post-manipulation pain.
A convenience sample of 50 patients, between the ages of 18-64, who present with acute non-complicated postural neck pain will be recruited from an outpatient chiropractic clinic.
Complications would include discogenic pain or radicular symptoms.
Inclusionary criteria would also consist of onset less than 18 days and the indications for cervical manipulation, including pain, decreased range of motion, and hypertonicity.
Exclusionary criteria will include pregnancy, contraindications to manipulation, and previous neck surgery.
Patients will be recruited on the first visits to ensure they haven't receive manipulation before for this current plan of care.
Upon providing consent to participate, patients will be randomly assigned into 2 groups; Control Group (n=25) and Tape Group (n=25).
Pain and neck ROM will be recorded at 3 different intervals: (1) pre-cervical manipulation, (2) within 5 minutes of cervical manipulation, (3) with 24-48 hours after manipulation.
The control group will receive manipulation only, while the Tape Group will have ETT TheraBand® Kinesiology Tape applied immediately following cervical manipulation.
The taping protocol will be applied by the investigator and consist of a "Y" strip applied at 25% tension running superior to inferior from the hair line to T1-2 and a horizontal "I" strip applied at 50% tension at the site of pain.
Six cervical ranges of motion values will be recorded utilizing the Acumar DataCapture hand-held dual inclinometer.
Range of motion will be measured at maximum (max) degrees and average degrees of 6 trials and will include: flexion (F), extension €, left side-bending (LSB), right side-bending (RSB), left rotation (LR), and right rotation (RR).
Measure of pain will be asked of each patient using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) from 0-10.
They will be asked to rate their pain at rest and when in motion.

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Manipulation plus Tape
The Tape Group will have TheraBand® Kinesiology Tape, an elastic therapeutic tape (ETT), applied immediately following cervical manipulation from a licensed chiropractor.
The taping protocol will be applied by the investigator and consist of a "Y" strip applied at 25% tension running superior to inferior from the hair line to T1-2 and a horizontal "I" strip applied at 50% tension at the site of pain.

One approach to treating musculoskeletal conditions is a elastic therapeutic taping technique designed to target muscles and lymphatic system.
Limited research on the efficacy of elastic therapeutic taping (ETT) is available for specific patient populations, including neck pain.
ETT it is theorized to impact muscle function by inhibiting or facilitating the muscle, improve blood flow, reduce pain, and improve joint alignment.
In a study by Gonzalez-Iglesias et al. the investigators reported that neck pain and range of motion significantly improved immediately and 24 hours after the application of ETT in acute whiplash patients as compared to a sham taping.

No Intervention: Manipulation Only
The control group will receive manipulation from a licensed chiropractor only
