Evaluation of the Kinesiology Taping Effectiveness in the Treatment of Lumbar Spine Pain
Evaluation of the Kinesiology Taping Effectiveness in the Treatment of Lumbar Spine Pain in Subjects Under 30 Years of Age
Lumbar spine pain syndromes are one of the most common pain conditions in our society.
The purpose of kinesiotaping is to normalize muscle function, improve blood and lymph flow, reduce pain, improve proprioception, promote tissue healing and restore normal tissue function. Today, this method is used in many fields of medicine. Its primary purpose is to support the musculoskeletal system by using various types of applications.
There is a lack of publications in the global literature on the effect of kinesiotaping of the external oblique muscles on lumbar spine pain. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of kinesiology taping in the treatment of lumbar spine pain in individuals under 30 years of age.

Detailed Description
Back pain occurs in people of all ages, regardless of their job. Both blue-collar and white-collar workers are exposed to strain and pain in the lumbar spine. The presence of pain is also promoted by low physical activity, poor motor habits, as well as stress.
There are numerous factors affecting the quality of life in patients with lower back pain. These include degree of pain, physical fitness, individual factors, degree of social support, and a potential for adapting forces to match constantly changing conditions.
The contemporary functional model of lumbar spinal muscles divides them into local stabilizers, single-joint global stabilizers, and multi-joint global stabilizers. The abdominal external oblique muscles are classified as global stabilizers. They generate force to control range of motion and allow limitation of that range (eccentric control), and functionally control rotation in all movements, regardless of the load acting on the spine.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of kinesiology taping in the treatment of lumbar spine pain in individuals under 30 years of age.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Dynamic tape
Experimental group will use a special dynamic tape on the lumbar extensor muscles
|
The experimental group will use a special dynamic patch made of cotton, coated with a hypoallergenic acrylic heat-activated adhesive arranged in sinusoidal-shaped layers.
The tape will be applied using the muscle technique with a Y-shaped cut patch directly to the dried and non-greased skin.
The application will be performed in a standing position, with the participant's lower extremities straight.
The therapist will place the beginning of the tape (the base) on the participant's sacrum and then, asking them to bend 45 degrees forward, tape the tails of the tape along the spine on the extensor muscles of the lumbar region, without changing the tension of the tape, keeping the base in the initial position.
|
Sham Comparator: Paper tape
Control group will use a paper tape on the lumbar extensor muscles
|
In the control group, a plain paper patch will be used to conduct the study, which, like the dynamic patch, will be applied using the same form of tape cutting and the same application technique.
The entire method of applying the patch will also take place in the participant's standing position with forward bending.
The paper patch will be placed at the levels from the L3 segment to the sacrum, along the spine on the lumbar extensor muscles.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Visual analogue scale of pain (VAS)
Time Frame: Visual analogue pain scale (VAS) will be carried out before the start of the therapy.
|
Visual analogue scale of pain (VAS) evaluates intensity of pain in the scale from 0 to 10. Maximum score means the highest level of pain.
|
Visual analogue pain scale (VAS) will be carried out before the start of the therapy.
|
Visual analogue scale of pain (VAS)
Time Frame: Visual analogue pain scale (VAS) will be carried out 4 days of therapy, immediately after its completion.
|
Visual analogue scale of pain (VAS) evaluates intensity of pain in the scale from 0 to 10. Maximum score means the highest level of pain.
|
Visual analogue pain scale (VAS) will be carried out 4 days of therapy, immediately after its completion.
|
Visual analogue scale of pain (VAS)
Time Frame: Visual analogue pain scale (VAS) will be carried out four weeks after the end of the treatment.
|
Visual analogue scale of pain (VAS) evaluates intensity of pain in the scale from 0 to 10. Maximum score means the highest level of pain.
|
Visual analogue pain scale (VAS) will be carried out four weeks after the end of the treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Modified Laitinen's pain questionnaire
Time Frame: Modified Laitinen's pain questionnaire will be carried out three times (before the start of the therapy, after 4 days of therapy, immediately after its completion and four weeks after the end of the treatment
|
The Laitinen questionnaire takes into account four indicators evaluated in a scale of 0 to 4: the intensity of pain, the frequency of its occurrence, the use of analgesic medications and limitation of the participant's motor activity.
A research participant could be granted from 0 to 16 points, the maximum score meaning the highest level of pain.
|
Modified Laitinen's pain questionnaire will be carried out three times (before the start of the therapy, after 4 days of therapy, immediately after its completion and four weeks after the end of the treatment
|
Oswestry Disability Index
Time Frame: Oswestry Disability Index will be carried out three times (before the start of the therapy, after 4 days of therapy, immediately after its completion and four weeks after the end of the treatment
|
Oswestry Disability Index takes into account ten indicators evaluated in a scale of 0 to 5. A research participant could be granted from 0 to 50 points, the minimum score meaning the highest level of disability.
|
Oswestry Disability Index will be carried out three times (before the start of the therapy, after 4 days of therapy, immediately after its completion and four weeks after the end of the treatment
