OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of Kinesio taping application in acute non-specific @entity1643 . DESIGN: A randomized controlled clinical trial. SETTING: Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic. @entity1 : A total of 109 @entity1 with @entity1643 were randomized into either Kinesio taping (n   =   54) or control (n   =   55) groups. INTERVENTION: The intervention group was treated with information and reassurance plus Kinesio taping, while the control group received merely information and reassurance. All @entity1 were allowed to use as-needed doses of @entity1443 . Kinesio tape was applied to the most @entity158 area of the low back for a total of 12   days. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Worst @entity158 and disability were assessed at baseline, after the 12-day intervention, and at four weeks follow-up. During the first 12   days, @entity1 filled in a @entity158 diary consisting of a numeric rating scale and recorded the number of @entity1443 tablets consumed daily. Disability was assessed with the @entity717 Index. RESULTS: After 12   days of intervention, @entity158 intensity and the @entity717 Index improved significantly in both groups; the improvements were significantly superior in the Kinesio taping group (p   =   0.003, p   =   0.011). The Kinesio taping group reached @entity158 control earlier (sixth day vs. 12th day) and consumed less @entity1443 . At the fourth week, although @entity158 intensity was significantly more reduced in the Kinesio taping group (p   =   0.015), there were no differences with regard to disability. CONCLUSIONS: Kinesio taping provided significant improvements in @entity158 and disability; thus, it can be used as a complementary method in acute non-specific @entity1643 .
