Brief Summary

Myofascial release techniques and/or kinesiotaping may be effective in the treatment of superior cluneal nerve impingement syndrome ?

Conditions

Superior Cluneal Nerve Entrapment

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Visual Analoque Scale

  Visual Analoque Scale is a scale consisting of a single 10 cm line and assesses the intensity of pain. Patients were asked to rate the level of pain after being informed that the beginning point on the scale represented no pain and the end point represented the most excruciating pain they had ever experienced

  Before treatment, immediately after treatment, 1 month after the end of treatment

• The Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire

  The Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire is a questionnaire developed to assess functional disabilities in patients with low back pain \[15\]. In the questionnaire consisting of 24 sentences about functional disabilities, patients are asked to answer each sentence as yes if it fits their situation and no if it does not. Yes answers are calculated as '1' and no answers as '0' points, resulting in a total score between 0-24, with a higher score indicating more disability.

  Before treatment, immediately after treatment, 1 month after the end of treatment

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• SF-36 Quality of Life Scale

  Before treatment, immediately after treatment, 1 month after the end of treatment

Study Arms (3)

exercise

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Lumbar muscles (especially quadratus lumborum) and thoracolumbar fascia stretching exercises and strengthening exercises for the lumbar and abdominal muscles were described by the physiotherapist. Participants were asked to perform the exercises three times a day, five days a week.

Other: Exercise

kinesiotaping

EXPERIMENTAL

Kinesiotaping was performed by the same researcher (XX) for two sessions per week for four weeks with fascia correction technique. The procedure was performed with the participant lying in the prone position. The tape was glued just below the beginning of the iliac crista without stretching. Submaximal tension was continued on the skin in line with the lower fibres of the quadratus lumborum muscle and thorocolumbar fascia. It was terminated without tension at the lower costal fold. I band was applied perpendicular to the line of insertion of the quadratus lumborum and thorocolumbar fascia to the crista iliaca with 50% tension in the middle section without tension at the beginning and end.

Other: Kinesiotaping

Myofascial release technique

EXPERIMENTAL

Myofascial release technique was applied by the same researcher (YY) twice a week for four weeks. Ischaemic compression was applied to palpable trigger points on the quadratus lumborum muscle. One hand was placed on the inferior crista iliaca and the other hand on the superior inferior costal fold and waited for 3 minutes with minimal tension. The hand was made into a fist and minimal pressure was applied with the proximal phalanges over the quadratus lumborum and the participant was asked to contract and release the muscle for 3 minutes.

Other: Myofascial release technique
