The Efficacy of Kinesio Taping With Therapy in the Treatment of Globus Pharyngeus

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Globus pharyngeus or sensation may be defined as a feeling of something a lump in the throat without dysphagia. Kinesio tex tape is a medical tap developed by Dr. Kase for therapeutic purposes and has been widely used in physical therapy applications in recent years. Although it is not a treatment with full consensus, the patient's complaints can be corrected with a small number of different therapy techniques or regulations on life.

Detailed Description
-----------------
We conducted a therapy program with kinesio taping on patients who diagnosed with globus pharyngeus for 8 session with sham kinesio taping controlled group. This study aimed to assess of efficacy of the kinesio taping with therapy on patients patients who diagnosed with globus pharyngeus.
