We wiil evaluate the efficiency of adding kinesio taping (KT) therapy to dry needling (DN) therapy on pain, functionality and depression parameters in 60 patients with nonspecific chronic low back pain (nCLBP).

Full description

A total of 60 patients will be included in the study. 30 patients will be in the treatment group and 30 patients will be in the control group. Both groups will be underwent 3 sessions with 1-week intervals on active myofascial trigger points in lumbar multifidus, quadratus lumborum and gluteus medius muscles in DN therapy. KT application will be performed after every DN session in the study group. Pain will evaluate with visual analog scale, functionality was evaluated with Oswestry Disability Index and the status of depression will be evaluated with Beck Depression Index before the treatment and at the first month.
