Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Chronic Low-back Pain (cLBP)

• Registration Number: NCT06684145
• Lead Sponsor: Firat University

Brief Summary

This study was conducted to determine the effects of kinesiotaping (KT) and sham KT applied with exercise program on clinical parameters such as pain, sleep, and quality of life in postmenopausal women with chronic low back pain. A randomized controlled experimental design, characteristic of quantitative research, was utilized. The subjects consisted of 60 postmenopausal women. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used as data collection tools.

Detailed Description

With rising life expectancy, women are expected to spend a third of their lives in the postmenopausal stage. Consequently, focusing research on postmenopausal women is considered crucial.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Visual analog scale (VAS)	up to 48 hours	VAS is used to subjectively measure perceived pain. It is a scale in the form of a 0-10 cm ruler, with 'no pain' at one end and 'the most severe pain' at the other, used to quantify pain intensity. The patient marks their pain level on the ruler.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Pittsburgh sleep quality index	up to 48 hours	Turkish reliability and validity study conducted by Ağargün et al. (1996) this scale, which assesses an individual's sleep quality over the past month, includes 24 items.
