Overview
Brief Summary
The objective of the study was to determine the effectiveness of Kinesio Taping (KT) for the treatment of patients with acute low back pain.
In this study a total of 56 patients with acute low back pain were randomly allocated to the experimental group, KT along with conventional Physical therapy (PT), or the control group, conventional PT alone.
Detailed Description
The objective of the study was to determine the effectiveness of Kinesio Taping (KT) for the treatment of patients with acute low back pain. In this study a total of 56 patients with acute low back pain were randomly allocated to the experimental group, KT along with conventional Physical therapy (PT), or the control group, conventional PT alone. 28 Patients received KT in addition to conventional PT while 28 patients received conventional PT alone for two weeks. Oswestry disability index (ODI) and numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) were used for the measurement of outcomes.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Pain intensity
Time Frame: 2 weeks
Pain was measured on numerical pain rating scale. it is a scale with score from 0 to 10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is maximum pain. The minimum score mean better outcome while higher score mean worse outcome. simply lesser the score better would be the outcome.
Secondary Outcomes
- Functional Disability(2 weeks)
