Objective:
Properly-designed exercises and use of different physiotherapeutic modalities have been shown to be useful in the management of patients with non-specific chronic low back pain (NSCLBP). This research examined the effects of Kinesiology taping (KT) and Core-stabilization exercises (CSE) on pain intensity, lumbar range of motion, functional disability, depression, anxiety, sleep disturbance and Kinesiophobia in patients with NSCLBP.
Design:
Randomized controlled trial.
Settings:
Two tertiary health facilities.
Participants:
Thirty-five patients (28 males and 7 females) with NSCLBP were allocated into three groups (KT + CSE, CSE and KT only).
Main Outcome Measure:
Pain intensity, functional disability, psychological status, sleep disturbance, kinesiophobia and lumbar range of motion (LROM) were assessed.
Results:
The results revealed reduction in pain intensity, improved functional ability, psychological status (Depression and Anxiety), kinesiophobia, decreased sleep disturbance and increased LROM (P < 0.001) within each of the groups post-intervention.
Conclusion:
All participants had improved clinical outcomes. However, KT + CSE group had better result in all the clinical outcomes.
Clinical Trial Registry Number:
PACTR201807604459572.
