Effects of Kinesio Taping vs Jones Technique on Myofascial Trigger Points in Cervicalgia.
June 30, 2023 updated by: Blanca González Sanchez
Effects of Kinesio Taping vs Jones Technique on Myofascial Trigger Points in Cervicalgia: a Pilot Study of a Randomised Control Trial.
A large number of workers in different sectors suffer from musculoskeletal neck disorders, which are the most common work-related illness in Europe.
A multitude of combinations of techniques can be used to treat these conditions, including recorded film and the Jones technique.
This pilot study examines the efficacy of Kinesio taping and the Jones technique in improving pain, joint range of motion and muscle tension in active subjects with latent myofascial trigger points.
A clinical trial was conducted with 38 patients with neck pain.
The sample was randomly distributed into three groups: a Jones technique group, a kinesio taping group and a combined therapy group in which both techniques were performed.
The duration of treatment was 4 weeks, with a follow-up of 2 weeks.
Cervical spine joint range of motion, pain and functional disability were assessed with the goniometer, the visual analogue scale, the pressure algometer and the cervical disability index.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Jones technique group
Performs Jones technique 12 participants.
|
is a gentle soft tissue manipulation consisting of a passive procedure that positions the body in a position of comfort to release tissue that compresses or shortens the body structure (muscle contraction and joint dysfunction)
|
Experimental: kinesio tapping group
Performs kinesiotape 14 participants.
|
KT has an S-shaped glue, which lifts the skin, thus improving blood and lymphatic circulation, with the intention of relieving pain and improving musculoskeletal diseases especially in sports
|
Experimental: combined therapy group
Performs Jones technique and kinesiotape 12 participants.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change from Baseline VAS at 4 weeks of treatment and at the 2-week follow-up
Time Frame: time 0, after 4 weeks of treatment, and at the 2-week follow-up
|
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), consisting of a 10 cm line representing the continuous spectrum of painful experience.
Only at the ends appear descriptions, "no pain" at one end and "worst pain imaginable" at the other, with no other description along the line.
The subject will subjectively estimate his or her level of pain by indicating it on the ruler
|
time 0, after 4 weeks of treatment, and at the 2-week follow-up
|
Change from Baseline UDP at 4 weeks of treatment and at the 2-week follow-up
Time Frame: time 0, after 4 weeks of treatment, and at the 2-week follow-up
|
Measurement of the pressure pain threshold (UDP) This is performed using a pressure algometer that aims to objectify the ability of muscle fibers to adapt to compression on underlying planes
|
time 0, after 4 weeks of treatment, and at the 2-week follow-up
|
Change from Baseline NDI at 4 weeks of treatment and at the 2-week follow-up
Time Frame: time 0, after 4 weeks of treatment, and at the 2-week follow-up
|
Neck Disability Index (NDI), a questionnaire for self-assessment of function and activity disability in patients with neck pain.
It consists of 10 items referring to functional activities, pain intensity, concentration and headache.
The maximum score is 50 points, so that the higher the score the worse the function
|
time 0, after 4 weeks of treatment, and at the 2-week follow-up
|
Change from Baseline GONIOMETER at 4 weeks of treatment and at the 2-week follow-up
Time Frame: time 0, after 4 weeks of treatment, and at the 2-week follow-up
|
Goniometer, instrument used for the study of joint mobility (MA).
Cervical flexion, right and left lateralizations, and right and left rotations were evaluated.
Each measurement was made three times with a separation of 30 seconds in time, taking the average between the three measurements.
|
time 0, after 4 weeks of treatment, and at the 2-week follow-up
