简要总结
A tape is applied over the inguinal skin nerves in people with low back pain. When placing the experimental tape, mobility should be improved and when the area is cooled with the tape, rotation should be limited again by inhibiting skin receptors. When returning to the initial temperature, you should improve the degrees of mobility again demonstrating that Magnetic tape only acts on the dermal receptors.
The possible variation of the range in movement is measured with the validated program for the measurement of angles, Kinovea® program. A kinesiology tape was used as a placebo tape and the magnetic tape was used in a randomized experimental way.
详细描述
Detailed Description:
A double-blind randomized clinical trial is designed where subjects with low back pain will be selected and blinded to recieve the Magnetic Tape® or placebo Tape. Likewise, the evaluator who puts the Magnetic Tape® does not know what material he is using, as it is supplied by another researcher.
The recommendations of the "Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials" (CONSORT) will be followed. All participants will receive a participant information sheet and sign informed consent. Patients aged 18 to 65 years with low back pain will be recruited from different private clinics in the city of Valencia, Spain.
The hypothesis is that when Magnetic Tape® comes into contact with electromagnetic fields such as those generated by living beings, due to the movement of electrical charges (ions), as defined by Ampere's Law, the domains of the tape are oriented or aligned in parallel with the external magnetic field creating a magnetic flux with a north pole and a south pole. This generated field in turn produces a magnetic induction proportional to the variation of the magnetic flux, as defined by the Faraday Law.
This electric potential produces a redistribution of the electric charge (ions) generating a magnetic field due to the orientation of the tape domains, then exerting a force on the moving charges within the electrolyte.
