Brief Summary

Aim of the study was to investigate the effect of Kinesio taping application on upper trapezius muscle after cervical spine surgery.

Conditions

Pain; Cervical Spinal Stenosis; Disc, Herniated; Cervical Spondylosis

Keywords

Kinesio Tape; Pain; Functionality; Cervical Spine Surgery

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Pain Intensity

  Neck pain intensity will be assessed with Visual Analog Scale (VAS).The VAS is usually a horizontal line, 10 cm in length, anchored by word descriptors at each end with "No Pain" (score of zero) on the left side up to "pain as bad as it could be" or the "worst imaginable pain" (Score of 100 \[100-mm scale\]) on the right side.The patient was asked to mark the line point that represented his or her current pain.

  Change from baseline to two weeks after the surgery

• Pain pressure threshold

  Pain pressure threshold of the trapezius muscle will be evaluated by digital pressure algometry. In the process, three measurements will be taken and the average value will be taken as reference.

  Change from baseline to two weeks after the surgery

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Range of Motion (ROM)

  Change from baseline to two weeks after the surgery

• Disability

  Change from baseline to two weeks after the surgery

• Health Related Quality of Life Score

  Change from baseline to two weeks after the surgery

• Functionality Score

  Change from baseline to two weeks after the surgery

Study Arms (3)

Group 1: Kinesio Taping and Conventional treatment

EXPERIMENTAL

The number of participants in this group is anticipated to be 30. The treatment method for this group is the conventional treatment + KT (Kinesio Taping) (Space Correction). In the conventional treatment therapeutic exercises (active and passive Range Of Motion (ROM) and strengthening exercise of the neck and shoulder) and TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) applications on the painful area, every day and 2 channels with 4 electrodes in the acute period (first 72 hours) will be applied. These exercises will be taught to participants from the first treatment session and will be performed under the supervision of a physiotherapist. In KT technique, while participants are sitting on the edge of the bed, the shoulder area will be depressed and I banding will be done by applying 25-50% tension horizontally in this position on the upper trapezius muscle.

Other: Kinesio Taping; Other: Conventional treatment

Group 2: Conventional treatment

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The number of participants in this group are anticipated to be 30. This group will be receiving only conventional treatment. In the conventional treatment therapeutic exercises (active and passive range of motion (ROM) and strengthening exercise of the neck and shoulder) and TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) applications on the painful area, every day and 2 channels with 4 electrodes in the acute period (first 72 hours) will be applied. These exercises will be taught to participants from the first treatment session and will be performed under the supervision of a physiotherapist.

Other: Conventional treatment

Group 3: Kinesio Taping

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

In kinesio taping technique while participants are sitting on the edge of the bed, the shoulder area will be depressed and I banding will be done by applying 25-50% tension horizontally in this position on the upper trapezius muscle.
