“…The findings of the current study indicate that KT is superior to other methods, including no taping, acupuncture and other general physical therapy methods, for CNSLBP patient treatment, with reduced VAS and ODI. Similarly, Kelle et al demonstrated a significant improvement in pain control in a KT group compared with a control group for patients with acute non-specific low back pain (29). A RCT study conducted by Forozeshfard et al demonstrated that KT significantly reduces pain and functional disability in young females with menstrual low back pain (30).…”

Low back pain can be treated with a variety of approaches, as described in clinical practice guidelines. The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of kinesio taping for pain release and functional improvement in people with chronic low back pain. Significant pain relief was achieved in patients with low back pain with kinesio taping treatment, and taping was superior to physical therapies, with improvement in functional movement. Kinesio taping may be a new, simple and convenient choice for intervention in low back pain. Objective: To compare the efficacy of kinesio taping on chronic non-specific low back pain with that of other general physical therapies. Methods: Relevant studies published up to 31 July 2018 were searched in electronic databases (Pub-Med, Web of Science, Science Direct, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), Cochrane Library, Wanfang Data, Vip Data and China National Knowledge Infrastructure). The quality of included studies was assessed using a risk of bias assessment tool, as recommended by the Cochrane Collaboration. Data from visual analogue scales and Oswestry Disability Index were extracted as selected outcome indicators. Tests of heterogeneity were performed. Weight ed mean difference (WMD) data with its 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were used as a measure of effect sizes, in order to pool the results from each included study using either a fixed or random effects model (where appropriate and possible). Results: Eight studies fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The quality of included studies was moderate. Patients with chronic non-specific low back pain in the kinesio taping group achieved better pain relief (WMD =-1.22; 95% CI-1.49 to-0.96, I 2 = 91%, p < 0.00001) and activities of daily living (WMD =-7.11; 95% CI-8.70 to-5.51, I 2 = 77%, p < 0.0001) than those in the control group. Conclusion: Kinesio taping may be a new, simple and convenient choice for intervention in low back pain. In the future, we can measure the efficacy about kinesio taping via clinical application in order to prove the possibility of treatment for low back pain.

“…In the literature, there are also studies which investigated the effect of KT application for acute back pain. [30] In a study by Kelle et al, [30] 109 patients with acute non-specific low back pain were included and randomized into either KT or placebo groups; both groups received merely information and reassurance. KT was applied for 12 days.…”

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of Kinesio taping (KT) and sham KT on pain, lumbar range of motion (ROM) and disability in chronic non-specific low back pain. Patients and methods: This is a randomized, placebo controlled study. Sixty patients (22 males, 38 females; mean age 21.5±1.7 years, range, 19 to 25 years) with chronic low back pain were randomized into either intervention or placebo groups. Group 1 (n=30) was treated with KT and group 2 (n=30) was treated with sham taping six times by intervals of three days. Patients were evaluated according to pain, modified Schober's test value, hand-ground distance and lumbar ROM and disability at baseline and at the end of the first and sixth months of intervention. Pain was assessed by using Visual Analog Scale (VAS), while ROM was assessed by modified Schober's test value, hand-ground distance and lumbar lateral flexion ROM. Disability was assessed with Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Results: Statistically significant improvements for all parameters were found for both groups after one month of intervention (p<0.05). These effects were sustained after six months of follow-up for modified Schober's test, hand-ground distance and ODI. There were statistically significant differences between the groups for all outcome measures at the first month of intervention (p<0.05). However, at sixth-month follow-up, only modified Schober's test, hand-ground distance and ODI values were significantly different between groups (p<0.05) except VAS (p>0.05). Conclusion: Kinesio taping provided significant improvements in pain, ROM and disability at short term. These positive effects were sustained for ROM and disability at long term but not for pain.

“…The use of Kinesio Taping (KT) has steadily increased in clinical practice among physical therapists, and its effectiveness has recently been assessed in acute and/ or chronic nonspecific LBP [9][10][11]. KT is an inexpensive, and easy-to-use treatment method because of its ease and speed of application [11].…”
