Effectiveness of Kinesiotaping on Patient's Functional Status in Non-specific Neck Pain
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Kinesiotaping group and stretching group for Neck Pain. Completed, enrolled 26 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The objective of the study is to find the effectiveness of kinesiotaping on the patient's functional status in non-specific neck pain. This is an RCT in which 26 participants with non-specific neck pain who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Individuals were randomly allocated into two groups (control and experimental) by using a sealed envelope method. The treatment protocol given to the experimental group includes kinesiotaping on upper trapezius muscle using inhibition technique (I-O) along with exercise therapy while in the control group exercise therapy was given alone. Data was collected by using NPRS and NDI. Pre and post assessment was taken on 1 st, 2nd, and 3rd sessions, and each session was 3 days apart. Parametric tests including independent T-test and paired T-test were applied for analyzing normal data. while non-parametric tests including Mann Whitney and Wilcoxon were applied for nonnormal data analysis.

Timeline
Interventions
* HOT PACK (10 MINTS) * TENS(10 MINTS) * STRETCHING EXERCISES(10 reps 3sets) hold for 2 sec * Apply KINESO- TAPE on upper trapezius (from I-O for Inhibition purpose) HOME PLAN OF EXPERIMENTAL GROUP: * SELF STRECHINGS (10 reps 3 sets) * AROMS * NECK ISOMETRICS (10 reps 3 sets)hold for 10 sec (In neck flexion, In neck extension, In side bending) In experimental group kinesiotape was applied on upper trapezius from insertion to origin for inhibition purpose. As it had increased the functional status of the patient. Post -intervention assessment was taken on 1 st, 2nd and 3rd visit.
