Brief summary
This study was planned to examine the effects of two different treatment programs on pain intensity, back awareness, functional and psychosocial factors in patients with chronic low back pain.
Detailed description
Recent study will be carried out on volunteer patients who applied to the Physical Therapy Clinic of Mugla Sitki Kocman University Training and Research Hospital, who were diagnosed with chronic non-specific low back pain and who comply with the study criteria. The sample size has been calculated that 80% power can be obtained at 95% confidence level. It was found that at least 21 cases, a total of 44 cases, were required for each group. Volunteers will be divided into 2 groups by randomization. Conventional physiotherapy applications will be applied to the control group. In addition to conventional physiotherapy methods, kinesio-taping (KT) will be applied to the study group. Patients in both groups will be treated 5 days a week for a total of 10 sessions for 2 weeks. KT will be renewed in each session on weekdays.
