Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group 1
In addition to routine physical therapy sessions, I taping was applied to the paraspinal muscles.
Routine Treatment + I Taping
Routine physical therapy program (10 sessions of hotpack, Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and ultrasound every day for 2 weeks) was applied. In addition to routine treatment, I taping (a total of 5 times every 3 days) was performed. Two I-shaped kinesio tapings were applied on the paraspinal muscles from the posterior superior iliac spine to the T12 level. 50% tension was applied to the area of the tapes outside the anchor points.
Group 2
In addition to routine physical therapy sessions, star taping was applied to sensitive points.
Routine Treatment + Star Taping
Routine physical therapy program (10 sessions of hotpack, Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and ultrasound every day for 2 weeks) was applied. In addition to routine treatment, star taping (a total of 5 times every 3 days) was performed. Four I tapes, one vertical, one horizontal and two at a 45° angle to the vertical tape, were applied to the point of maximum pain in the lumbar region. 25% tension was applied to the midpoint of the tapes except for the ends.
Group 3
No application (no taping) was made outside of the routine physical therapy program.
Routine Treatment
Routine physical therapy program (10 sessions of hotpack, Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and ultrasound every day for 2 weeks) was applied. No taping was applied.
