Brief Summary

the aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy of kinesio taping versus myofascial release technique on menstrual low back pain in young females

Conditions

Low Back Pain

Keywords

kinesio taping; myofascial release technique

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• pain intensity

  The scale that will be used the VAS ;each subject will instructed to put point on line from no pain to tolerable pain

  up to four weeks]

• pain pressure threshold

  will be measured by pressure algometer

  up to four weeks]

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• severity of dysmenorrhea

  up to four weeks]

• Assess the function disability level

  up to four weeks]

Study Arms (2)

kinesio taping

EXPERIMENTAL

Each female will be treated by Kinesio tape which will be applied for three days (from the first day to the end of the third day of menstrual cycle) throughout 3 consecutive cycles.

Other: kinesio taping

myofascial release technique

EXPERIMENTAL

Each female will be treated by myofascial relaxation technique which will be started at the third or fourth day of menstruation and continued till the onset of the next menstruation, 40 minutes, 3 times / week for 12 sessions through 3 consecutive menstrual cycle

Other: myofascial release technique

Interventions

kinesio taping OTHER

Before treatment, all female participants will undergo an allergic test on the anterior surface of the elbow. To ensure cleanliness, alcohol will be used to clean the areas to be evaluated before applying the tape. The H technique will be employed to apply KT over the lumbar region. Participants will be instructed to bend forwards from the waist, and two vertical strips will be applied. These strips will stretch the Golgi tendon organ on both sides of the spine from the top of the buttock cleft upwards to a mid-point, with less than 25% stretch . Additionally, a horizontal strip will be attached across the left and right sacroiliac joints. This strip will be stretched to 50% of its maximum capacity,.

kinesio taping

myofascial release technique OTHER

myofascial release technique will be applied from prone on lumbar paravertebral muscles by using the olecranon of the physical therapist for 3 minutes, thoracolumbar fascia by using cross-handed hold, with hands placed on the T12-L1 levels and on the sacrum for 5 minutes without repetition and quadratus lumborum by using elbow with low pressure obliquely towards the center of the column for 7 min. Additionally, from supine on psoas muscle by transversal sliding of the psoas fascia. The therapist will place the hands laterally 3 cm from the umbilicus.
