研究概览
简要总结
This clinical trial aims to examine kinesiotape's (KT) short-term effect on individuals with nonspecific chronic LBP (CLBP), including back-specific body perception, pain, functional disability, and physical activity. The hypothesis is that applying KT to the lumbar spine would improve back-specific body perception, reduce pain and functional disability, and increase physical activity in individuals with CLBP compared to the sham-taping group.
详细描述
Low back pain (LBP) is prevalent and the leading cause of disability worldwide. In addition, it is often associated with psychological, social, and physical factors that can impact one's ability to function, participate in society, maintain job satisfaction, and socioeconomic status. Therefore, managing it requires a significant amount of healthcare resources. Maladaptive body image and maladaptive beliefs are among the conditions that can be targeted during treatment as they may contribute to the chronicity of LBP.

- Double (Participant, Outcomes Assessor)
盲法说明
A double-blinded design will be conducted to assess the effectiveness of kinesio versus sham tape, as patients cannot distinguish between the two.
The assessment of back-specific body perception, which is the primary outcome, will be conducted by an assessor unaware of the treatment allocation prior to treatment, as well as on days 3 and 7.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in The Fremantle Back Awareness Questionnaire (FreBAQ) on day 1 and day 7 (in points)
时间窗: day 1 before the start of the kinesiotaping, day 3, and day 7
The Fremantle Back Awareness Questionnaire (FreBAQ) is a tool used to measure a patient's perception of their back. It consists of nine questions rated on a five-point scale, ranging from "0=never" to "4=always".
次要结局
- Change in The Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) on day 1 and day 7 (in points)(day 1 before the start of the kinesiotaping, day 3, and day 7)
- Change in The International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form (IPAQ-SF) on day 1 and day 7 (in MET min/wk)(day 1 before the start of the kinesiotaping, day 3, and day 7)
- Change in Pain Intensity (VAS) on day 0 and day 7 (in millimeters)(day 1 before the start of the kinesiotaping, day 3, and day 7)
