简要总结
Pregnant women may experience pregnancy-related low back pain and this pain may negatively affect function. There are studies in the literature that Kinesiotape applications improve pain. There is no study examining the effect of Kinesiotape application in addition to exercise on pregnancy-related low back pain and function. At the end of our study, we will compare the effects of Kinesiotape application for a total of 8 sessions for 4 weeks on pain and function.
详细描述
Kinesio tape (KT) application is a physiotherapy method whose use has increased in recent years in the treatment of chronic pain. Kinesio tape, an alternative method to support fascia, muscles and joints, Dr. Developed by Kenzo Kase. Although the therapeutic effects of the KT method are still unclear, the putative therapeutic effects include facilitating muscle activity, providing sensory stimuli to the skin, muscles or facial structures, and regulating joint range of motion (ROM) . KT method increases blood and lymph circulation by lifting the skin, and prevents pain by reducing nociceptive stimuli . KT has been administered to pregnancy to improve low back pain. In addition to publications showing that KT can reduce pregnancy-related low back pain, there are studies showing that it has no effect compared to the control group . The aim of this study is to examine the effect of 8 sessions of KT applied in addition to 4-week core stabilization exercises on pain and quality of life in pregnant women with pregnancy-related low back pain.

结局指标
主要结局
Change from Baseline pregnancy-related low back Pain at 4 weeks
时间窗: Baseline and after 4 weeks intervention
Pain will be assessed with a 10 cm visual analog scale at night, at rest and during activity. "0" means no pain and "10" means unbearable pain. The assessment will be done before and at the end of the study.
Change from Baseline Function at 4 weeks
时间窗: Baseline and after 4 weeks intervention
Function will be assessed with the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire. The higher the score on the scale, the greater the loss of function. Assessment will be done before and at the end of the study.
次要结局
- Change from Baseline Health Quality at 4 weeks(Baseline and after 4 weeks interventionBaseline and after 4 weeks intervention)
