“…To the best of our knowledge, the effect of KinesioTaping on NMSs in patients with focal dystonia has so far been analysed in only one study [13].Our current study is a continuation of our recently published research [14]. Our observations help to elucidate the possible role of combined BoNT-A plus KinesioTaping therapy in the management of NMS in patients with CD.…”

Aim of the study. To assess whether combined therapy with botulinum toxin injections (BoNT) and KinesioTaping could be helpful in managing non-motor symptoms (NMS) of cervical dystonia (CD). Material and methods.Seventeen patients with CD were enrolled in this single-centre, prospective, evaluator-blinded, randomised, crossover trial. We compared three forms of treatment: BoNT treatment alone, or combined with KinesioTaping, or combined with ShamTaping. NMS were assessed using the 14-item self-reported questionnaire proposed by Klingelhoefer, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).Results. There were no significant differences between the groups concerning mean results of HADS and PSQI scales, or mean total number of NMS after the procedures. The mean change from baseline HADS and PSQI scores, and total number of NMS after the procedure, also did not differ significantly between groups. ShamTaping combined with BoNT significantly increased the prevalence of pain.Conclusions and clinical implications. Our study did not confirm the effectiveness of combined therapy of BoNT and Kine-sioTaping in the management of NMS in patients with CD. Due to a potential negative effect of improper taping on pain in CD, patients with CD should only experience KinesioTaping as an adjunctive therapy, and if it is performed by a trained, experienced physiotherapist.

“…In Groups 1 and 2, the BoNT injection was followed by KinesioTaping or ShamTaping respectively, which was performed after seven days and continued for four consecutive weeks, with tapes being changed once per week by an experienced physiotherapist informed about the patient's group allocation as described previously [14].…”

“…Study participants in the intervention group received various physical therapy interventions modalities such as stretching, exercise therapy (posture, coordination, proprioception, strengthening underactive muscles, motor learning, relaxation, sensorimotor exercises with feedback), aquatic relaxation therapy, home exercise program, active and passive mobilizations of the neck, taping, biofeedback and Transcutaneous Electrical Neural Stimulation (TENS). Twelve out of 14 studies [ 24 – 28 , 30 , 31 , 33 – 37 ] applied various physical therapy modality interventions whereas 2 studies [ 29 , 32 ] used taping as the sole intervention.…”

Background Cervical dystonia is a movement disorder typically characterized by a patterned and twisting movement of sustained or intermittent muscle contractions. Recently, new clinical trials are emerging, highlighting the potential benefit of physiotherapy (PT) on disease outcomes. Thus, the objective of this review is to update the effectiveness of PT on cervical dystonia disease outcomes and subsequently perform a meta-analysis. Methods Interventional studies published in English with adult patients with isolated cervical dystonia following a physiotherapy program were included. Relevant articles were searched in PubMed (MEDLINE), Web of Science, and Scopus. Cochrane and Joanna Briggs Institute risk of bias checklists were used for quality reporting. Meta-analysis was done using Review Manager 5.3 statistical software and a pooled mean difference for pain was presented. Results Fourteen articles were included in the review and two articles were included in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis revealed that PT intervention had a significant effect on pain reduction scale (-5.00, 95% CI -6.26, -3.74) when used as an additional therapy with botulinum toxin (BoNT) injection. Additionally, findings indicate a possible positive effect of PT disease severity, disability, and quality of life. Conclusions Physiotherapy in addition to BoNT is recommended to decrease pain. The findings suggest a reduction of disease severity, disability, and improvement in quality of life. The variety in the type and duration of PT interventions did not allow a clear recommendation of a specific type of PT.

“…The Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS), comprising Torticollis severity, Disability, and Pain scales, was used to quantify the severity of CD. The Craniocervical Dystonia Questionnaire was used to assess the quality of life (CDQ4) [57]. However, we need more studies looking into the impact of KT before and after BoNT injection in MMPS.…”

Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is thought to stem from masticatory muscle hypersensitivity. Masticatory myofascial pain syndrome (MMPS) is characterized by multiple trigger points (MTrPs), also known as hyperirritable points, in taut bands of affected muscles, regional muscle pain, or referred pain to nearby maxillofacial areas like teeth, masticatory muscles or the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Muscle stiffness, reduced range of motion, muscle weakening without atrophy, and autonomic symptoms may accompany regional discomfort. Multiple treatments have been utilized to reduce trigger points and mandibular function restrictions. As a result of these incapacitating symptoms, MMPS can significantly impair many elements of quality of life. The application of Kinesio tape (KT) is a non-invasive method of treating dormant myofascial trigger points. Utilizing the body’s innate capacity for self-repair, this technique entails taping specific regions of the skin. KT alleviates discomfort, decreases swelling and inflammation, enhances or suppresses motor function in the muscles, stimulates proprioception, promotes lymphatic drainage, stimulates blood flow, and expedites tissue recovery. However, studies conducted to assess its effects have frequently yielded contradictory results. To the best of our knowledge, just a few research has looked into the therapeutic effects of KT on MMPS. The purpose of this review is to determine the efficacy of KT as a therapeutic tool for regular treatment or as an adjunct to existing therapy for MMPS based on the evidence presented in this review. To establish KT as a reliable independent treatment option, additional research is necessary to confirm the efficacy of KT techniques and applications, specifically randomized clinical trials.
