Brief summary
The effect of magnetic tape on pain and autonomic nervous system in subject with lower back pain.
Detailed description
The effects of magnetic nanoparticles in tape applied in the lumbar spine on the autonomic nervous system measured with fully automated pupillometry and on pain in the spine measured with posterior to anterior pressure on the spinous process and the skin pinch test paravertebrally
Interventions
OTHERMagnetic tape
Tape with magnetic nanoparticles applied to the skin
OTHERPlacebo tape
Tape without nano particles applied to the skin

Masking description
Participant and researchers where not aware of the magnetic tape versus placebo tape as the look and feel identical
Intervention model description
Single group design with random allocation of intervention placebo versus treatment tape. Next day other intervention was used

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pupillometry | 60 seconds measure preceding tape application. After outcome 5 | 1 minute continues pupil diameter measure |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PA spine | First PA measure of 5 seconds on each PA of 5 seconds on each segment is starting off the measurement phase. This is the first outcome measure | Anterior (PA) pressure on each spinal segment |
| Skin pinch test | 3 seconds skin pinch test at each level starting immediately following the first PA measure. After Outcome 4 | Bilaterally of each vertebrae |
| Skin Pinch test | 3 seconds skin pinch test at each level starting immediately following outcome 6 | Bilaterally of each vertebrae |
