简要总结
The aim of this study is to demonstrate that the application of Kinesio Taping on a myofascial trigger point in the trapezius muscle able to cause a decrease of the trigger point pain and an increase of the cervical range of motion in asymptomatic subjects
详细描述
The use of Kinesio Taping has become very popular for the treatment of many musculoskeletal disorders in recent decades. Of the six variants of application that has the Kinesio Taping, the space correction technique is suggested for pain management. The increased space achieved with this variant decreases the pressure Kinesio Taping by raising the skin directly over the treatment area, reducing chemical irritation receptors and therefore pain. The aim of this study is to demonstrate that the application of this variant of Kinesio Taping on a myofascial trigger point in the trapezius muscle able to cause a decrease of the pain and an increase of the cervical range of motion in asymptomatic subjects. For this, the pressure pain threshold will be measured with a algometer on the trigger point and the range of motion with a cervical goniometer.

研究组 & 干预措施
Kinesio Taping
Four Kinesio Taping strips will be placed with tension on skin forming an asterisk. The point of intersection of the four strips will be just above the myofascial trigger point. The subject will remain three days with the strips on his skin
干预措施: Kinesio Taping (Device)
Sham Kinesio Taping
Four Kinesio Taping strips will be placed without tension on skin forming an asterisk. The point of intersection of the four strips will be just above the myofascial trigger point. The subject will remain three days with the strips on his skin
