Background:
Low-back pain is a worldwide pain syndrome causing important limitations to daily activity. Common treatment guidelines recommend drugs and exercise.
Aim:
To evaluate the efficacy of a standardized NeuroMuscular Taping (NMT) lumbar application in reducing pain and improving function associated with back-school therapy (BST).
Methods:
Single-blind randomized controlled trial. The experimental group was treated with BTS followed by three applications of NMT over 8 days and the control group who underwent only BST. All patients were evaluated before and at the end of treatment, after 4 and 8 weeks from the end of BST and with a follow-up at distance of three months from the last evaluation, with pain numeric scale, Oswestry disability index and Schober test.
Results:
Significant pain reduction and functional improvement have been observed in the follow-up evaluations in the experimental group.
Conclusion:
Association of a standardized NMT application to BTS was seen to significantly improve function and reduce pain with longer time efficacy.
