- Brief Summary
Previous evidence has shown that kinesio tape application reduces pain levels and improves disability in patients with chronic low back pain due to lumbar disc herniation. However, it is not known, whether the dynamic taping can decrease back pain, improve endurance of paraspinal muscles, and improve functional capacity in patients with lumbar disk herniation. The aim of the current study is to examine the acute effects of dynamic taping on pain, pain threshold, endurance, balance, lumbar joint mobility and functionality in patients with lumbar disc herniation.
- Detailed Description
The study will include 34 volunteer adult patients who have been diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation according to the physical examination and magnetic resonance imaging and have referred to the physiotherapy and rehabilitation service by a specialist physician. The patients will be divided into 2 groups as dynamic tape (n=17) and sham tape (n=17). Patients' pain will be evaluated with Numerical Rating Scale, pain threshold Jtech Commander digital algometer, lumbar muscle endurance Modified Sorenson Test, balance functional reach test, lumbar joint mobility universal goniometer and functional movement levels of patients with timed get up and go test. Evaluations will be carried out in 3 stages: before taping, 2 hours after taping and 3 days after taping. The measurements of the dynamic and sham taping applications of the 2 hours after and 3 days will be compared with the pre-taping and post taping results between two groups.
The outcomes of the study will be analyzed by appropriate statistical methods.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Pain severity evaluation Up to one month The severity of the pain will be measured with Numerical Rating Scale. The numeric rating scale (NRS) is a pain screening tool, commonly used to assess pain severity at that moment in time using a 0-10 scale, with zero meaning "no pain" and 10 meaning "the worst pain imaginable".
Pain threshold measurement Up to one month Pain threshold will be measured Jtech Commander digital algometer
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Lumbar joint mobility Up to one month Universal goniometer will be used
The evaluation of balance Up to one month Functional reach test will be used
Functional movement level Up to one month Timed up and go test will be used
The evaluation of lumbar muscle endurance Up to one month Modified Sorenson Test will be used
