Brief Summary

Previous evidence has shown that kinesio tape application reduces pain levels and improves disability in patients with chronic low back pain due to lumbar disc herniation. However, it is not known, whether the dynamic taping can decrease back pain, improve endurance of paraspinal muscles, and improve functional capacity in patients with lumbar disk herniation. The aim of the current study is to examine the acute effects of dynamic taping on pain, pain threshold, endurance, balance, lumbar joint mobility and functionality in patients with lumbar disc herniation.

Conditions

Lumbar Disc Herniation; Acute Pain

Keywords

lumbar disc herniation; dynamic tape; acute pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Pain severity evaluation

  The severity of the pain will be measured with Numerical Rating Scale. The numeric rating scale (NRS) is a pain screening tool, commonly used to assess pain severity at that moment in time using a 0-10 scale, with zero meaning "no pain" and 10 meaning "the worst pain imaginable".

  Up to one month

• Pain threshold measurement

  Pain threshold will be measured Jtech Commander digital algometer

  Up to one month

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• The evaluation of lumbar muscle endurance

  Up to one month

• The evaluation of balance

  Up to one month

• Lumbar joint mobility

  Up to one month

• Functional movement level

  Up to one month

Interventions

Dynamic taping technique OTHER

The dynamic taping method as specified in the literature will be applied to the right and left lumbar paravertebral muscles in the dynamic taping group. Patients' pain will be evaluated with Numerical Rating Scale, pain threshold Jtech Commander digital algometer, lumbar muscle endurance Modified Sorenson Test, balance functional reach test, lumbar joint mobility universal goniometer and functional movement levels of patients with timed get up and go test. Evaluations will be carried out in 3 stages: before taping, 2 hours after taping and 3 days after taping. The measurements of the dynamic and sham taping applications of the 2 hours after and 3 days will be compared with the pre-taping and post taping results between two groups.

Sham taping OTHER

Sham taping will be applied with a surgical patch while the patient is in a comfortable position without any technique or stretching.Evaluations will be carried out in 3 stages: before taping, 2 hours after taping and 3 days after taping. Patients' pain will be evaluated with Numerical Rating Scale, pain threshold Jtech Commander digital algometer, lumbar muscle endurance Modified Sorenson Test, balance functional reach test, lumbar joint mobility universal goniometer and functional movement levels of patients with timed get up and go test. Evaluations will be carried out in 3 stages: before taping, 2 hours after taping and 3 days after taping. The measurements of the dynamic and sham taping applications of the 2 hours after and 3 days will be compared with the pre-taping and post taping results between two groups.
