Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) and kinesiology taping (KT) that are additional treatment to the conservative treatment for the lumbar region and hamstrings and connective tissue thickness in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental: Study Group

Patients in the IASTM group were asked to lie face down on a stretcher, exposing the entire lumbar region. IASTM was applied to all paraspinal muscles for a total of 5 minutes after massage cream was applied. Immediately afterwards, the same application was performed for the right and left hamstring muscles from the gluteal line to the bottom of the popliteal fossa for 3 minutes after massage cream was applied. IASTM application was performed vertically, horizontally and diagonally using instruments of different sizes and shapes at an angle of 45 degrees to the skin surface.

Active Comparator

KT application (Kinesio Tape® Tex Gold) was performed using the "muscle technique". In lumbar region application, while the patient was standing, the tape was cut as a Y-strip with a base of 5 cm.
