Overview
Brief Summary
Aim of the study was to investigate the effect of Kinesio taping application on upper trapezius muscle after cervical spine surgery.
Detailed Description
Patients will be randomly divided into three groups. The first group will receive conservative treatment and Kinesio Taping application. The second group will receive conservative treatment and the third group will receive only Kinesio taping application. The treatment procedure will continue for post-operatively three days and assessments will be done four times; before the surgery, post-operative 1st day, postoperative 3rd day and two weeks after surgery. Data will be recorded on patient assessment file and transferred to the computer. Data analysis will be performed with SPSS.22.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Pain Intensity
Time Frame: Change from baseline to two weeks after the surgery
Neck pain intensity will be assessed with Visual Analog Scale (VAS).The VAS is usually a horizontal line, 10 cm in length, anchored by word descriptors at each end with "No Pain" (score of zero) on the left side up to "pain as bad as it could be" or the "worst imaginable pain" (Score of 100 \[100-mm scale\]) on the right side.The patient was asked to mark the line point that represented his or her current pain.
Pain pressure threshold
Time Frame: Change from baseline to two weeks after the surgery
Pain pressure threshold of the trapezius muscle will be evaluated by digital pressure algometry. In the process, three measurements will be taken and the average value will be taken as reference.
Secondary Outcomes
- Functionality Score(Change from baseline to two weeks after the surgery)
- Disability(Change from baseline to two weeks after the surgery)
- Health Related Quality of Life Score(Change from baseline to two weeks after the surgery)
- Range of Motion (ROM)(Change from baseline to two weeks after the surgery)
