Kinesio Taping for Neurogenic Bowel Dysfunction in Spinal Cord Injury

2026年7月10日 更新者:Meltem Gunes Akinci、Pamukkale University

Effectiveness of Kinesio Taping on Neurogenic Bowel Dysfunction in Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Neurogenic bowel dysfunction is a common complication of spinal cord injury and may cause constipation, difficulty with defecation, prolonged bowel care, incomplete evacuation, fecal incontinence, and reduced quality of life. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Kinesio Taping added to a routine bowel management program in adults with spinal cord injury and upper motor neuron-type neurogenic bowel dysfunction.

Thirty participants will be randomly assigned to one of two parallel groups. The control group will receive a routine bowel management program, while the intervention group will receive Kinesio Taping in addition to the routine bowel management program. Kinesio Taping will be applied to the lower abdominal and lumbosacral regions three times per week for 4 weeks.

The primary outcome will be defecation frequency recorded using a 7-day bowel diary. Secondary outcomes will include stool consistency, defecation duration, perceived constipation severity, neurogenic bowel dysfunction severity, and health-related quality of life. Assessments will be performed before and after the 4-week intervention.

介入・治療
アクティブコンパレータ:Routine Bowel Management Program
Participants in this arm will receive an individualized routine bowel management program based on their clinical condition for 4 weeks. The program may include scheduled bowel care, dietary and fluid recommendations, appropriate positioning, physical activity, abdominal massage, rectal evacuation techniques, suppositories, enemas, and oral or rectal laxatives when clinically indicated. Participants will be instructed not to change their usual dietary habits during the study period.

実験的:Kinesio Taping Plus Routine Bowel Management Program
Participants in this arm will receive Kinesio Taping in addition to the routine bowel management program for 4 weeks. Kinesio Taping will be applied to the lower abdominal and lumbosacral regions three times per week by the same experienced physician. The tape will remain in place for 2 days and will be removed before the next treatment session. A star-shaped correction technique will be applied to the lumbosacral region with 25%-50% tension, and an I-shaped correction technique will be applied to the lower abdominal region between the right and left anterior superior iliac spines. No tension will be applied to the ends of the tape

この研究は何を測定していますか?

主要な結果の測定

結果測定
メジャーの説明
時間枠
Change in Defecation Frequency
時間枠:Baseline and at the end of the 4-week intervention
Defecation frequency will be recorded using a 7-day bowel diary and expressed as the total number of defecations during a 7-day period. Higher values indicate more frequent bowel movements.
Baseline and at the end of the 4-week intervention

二次結果の測定

結果測定
メジャーの説明
時間枠
Change in Bristol Stool Form Scale Score
時間枠:Baseline and at the end of the 4-week intervention
Stool consistency will be assessed using the 7-point Bristol Stool Form Scale. Type 1 indicates separate hard lumps, while Type 7 indicates entirely liquid stool. Types 3 to 5 generally represent softer or more desirable stool consistency.
Baseline and at the end of the 4-week intervention
Change in Perceived Constipation Severity
時間枠:Baseline and at the end of the 4-week intervention
Participants will rate the overall severity of constipation on a 10-cm Visual Analog Scale ranging from 0 to 10. A score of 0 indicates no constipation, while a score of 10 indicates very severe constipation.
Baseline and at the end of the 4-week intervention
Change in Neurogenic Bowel Dysfunction Score
時間枠:Baseline and at the end of the 4-week intervention
Neurogenic bowel dysfunction severity will be assessed using the 10-item Neurogenic Bowel Dysfunction Score. The total score ranges from 0 to 47, with higher scores indicating more severe neurogenic bowel dysfunction.
Baseline and at the end of the 4-week intervention
Change in Short Form-36 Health Survey Scores
時間枠:Baseline and at the end of the 4-week intervention
Health-related quality of life will be assessed using the 36-item Short Form Health Survey. The instrument includes eight subscales, each scored from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better perceived health status.
Baseline and at the end of the 4-week intervention
Change in Defecation Duration
時間枠:Baseline and at the end of the 4-week intervention
Defecation duration will be recorded in minutes using a 7-day bowel diary. Participants will record the time required to complete each bowel evacuation. A shorter duration indicates less time spent on bowel care.
Baseline and at the end of the 4-week intervention
Change in the Feeling of Complete Evacuation
時間枠:Baseline and at the end of the 4-week intervention
The feeling of complete bowel evacuation will be recorded in the 7-day bowel diary after each defecation. The outcome will be expressed as the number or proportion of defecations associated with a feeling of complete evacuation during the 7-day assessment period. Higher values indicate more frequent complete evacuation.
Baseline and at the end of the 4-week intervention
Change in Straining During Defecation
時間枠:Baseline and at the end of the 4-week intervention
Straining during defecation will be recorded in the 7-day bowel diary. The outcome will be expressed as the number or proportion of defecations accompanied by straining during the 7-day assessment period. Lower values indicate less frequent straining.
Baseline and at the end of the 4-week intervention
Change in Painful Defecation
時間枠:Baseline and at the end of the 4-week intervention
Painful defecation will be recorded in the 7-day bowel diary. The outcome will be expressed as the number or proportion of defecations associated with pain during the 7-day assessment period. Lower values indicate less frequent painful defecation.
Baseline and at the end of the 4-week intervention
