Overview
Brief Summary
We wiil evaluate the efficiency of adding kinesio taping (KT) therapy to dry needling (DN) therapy on pain, functionality and depression parameters in 60 patients with nonspecific chronic low back pain (nCLBP).
Detailed Description
A total of 60 patients will be included in the study. 30 patients will be in the treatment group and 30 patients will be in the control group. Both groups will be underwent 3 sessions with 1-week intervals on active myofascial trigger points in lumbar multifidus, quadratus lumborum and gluteus medius muscles in DN therapy. KT application will be performed after every DN session in the study group. Pain will evaluate with visual analog scale, functionality was evaluated with Oswestry Disability Index and the status of depression will be evaluated with Beck Depression Index before the treatment and at the first month.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Pain by visual analog scale (VAS)
Time Frame: 3 week
Visual analog scale (VAS,0-10) will be used to assess resting, activity and night pain.
Beck Depression Inventory
Time Frame: 3 week
This is a 21-item standard assessment used to measure clinical depression. Scores on this assessment range from 0 to 63, where higher scores indicate higher levels of depression.
Pain pressure threshold
Time Frame: 3 week
Amount of pressure (Kg/cm2) applied at the lomber multifidus muscle, quadratus lumborum and gluteus medius muscle myofascial trigger point site that elicit pain for the patient will be reported
Oswestry disability Index (ODI)
Time Frame: 3 week
Changes from the Baseline, ODI is an effective tool to provide information on the extent of backache affecting the patient ability to cope with tasks of everyday life. Ten sections are included in the ODI tool with a total possible score of 5 for each section. The first statement carries a score of 0, and the last has a score of 5.
