Brief Summary

Low back pain is a common condition that affects 70% of people at least once. Sacroiliac joint Dysfunction (SIJD) is a skipped health problem that is ignored in patients with low back or hip pain. Fluoroscopy-guided SIJ injection showed that SIJD is a source of pain in 13-30% of patients with chronic low back pain. Inadequate function of SIJ leads to abnormal gait pattern, pain during walking, increase in load on discs, long-term interdisciplinary stability and causing to increase of the listhesis. The pain worsens with running, climbing stairs or standing up from the sitting position. Pharmacological, non-pharmacological and if required surgical treatment may be applied in the osteoarthritis treatment. Non-pharmacological treatment includes patient education, exercise, massaging, SIJ, manipulation-mobilization, chiropractic applications, physical therapy modalities, use of the assistive device. Kinesio Taping is a treatment that has not been studied much and can be applied in SIJD. When investigators reviewed the literature, investigators found a study and a case report investigating the activity of Kinesio taping in sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Although the mechanism of Kinesio taping cannot be understood, it is claimed that it has four beneficial effects: normalizes muscular function, improves blood and lymphatic circulation, reduces pain, regulates possible disorders of joints. In studies showing the effectiveness of Kinesio banding in the reduction of pain in health problems related to the waist area with the highest number of publications, it was noted that the pain was reduced rapidly within three days, decreased the need for analgesics within two weeks and increased function in daily living activities.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Visual Analog Scale (VAS ) for sacroiliac pain

  visual analog scale, 0 minimum, 10 maximum score, higher values represent a worse outcome.

  Change from baseline pain score at 15 th day

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Modified Oswestry Pain Inquiry Form for pain and quality of life

  All patients will evaluated at baseline, twentieth minute after application and on the 15th day.

Study Arms (2)

Kinesio-taping Treatment Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

In treatment group; Kinesio-taping 3 times at 5-day intervals, one of the fan-shaped cut bands, 2-3 inches above the sacroiliac joint (SIJ), and the other below 2-3 inches below the SIJ, and crossed each other by 90 degrees. evaluated at baseline, the twentieth minute after application and on the 15th day by physical examination of the sacroiliac joint, visual analog scale, Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire

Other: Kinesio-taping treatment group

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

Without Kinesio-taping treatment evaluated at baseline and on the 15th day by physical examination of the sacroiliac joint, visual analog scale, Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire
