Effects of kinesiology taping and core stability exercise on clinical variables in patients with non-specific chronic low back pain: A randomized controlled trial

Properly-designed exercises and use of different physiotherapeutic modalities have been shown to be useful in the management of patients with non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP). This research examined the effects of Kinesiology taping (KT) and Core-stabilization exercises (CSE) on pain inte...

Description
Summary:	Properly-designed exercises and use of different physiotherapeutic modalities have been shown to be useful in the management of patients with non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP). This research examined the effects of Kinesiology taping (KT) and Core-stabilization exercises (CSE) on pain intensity, lumbar range of motion, functional disability, depression, anxiety, sleep disturbance and Kinesiophobia in patients with NSCLBP. Randomized controlled trial. Two tertiary health facilities. Thirty-five patients (28 males and 7 females) with NSCLBP were allocated into three groups (KT + CSE, CSE and KT only). Pain intensity, functional disability, psychological status, sleep disturbance, kinesiophobia and lumbar range of motion (LROM) were assessed. The results revealed reduction in pain intensity, improved functional ability, psychological status (Depression and Anxiety), kinesiophobia, decreased sleep disturbance and increased LROM (P < 0.001) within each of the groups post-intervention. All participants had improved clinical outcomes. However, KT + CSE group had better result in all the clinical outcomes. PACTR201807604459572 •KT + CSE is more efficacious in improving pain, disability, and psychological status among patients with NSCLBP.•CSE alone is efficacious in improving pain, disability, and sleep disturbance among patients with NSCLBP.•KT alone is efficacious in improving lumbar range of motion and other clinical variables among patients with NSCLBP.
