The Effect of Kinesio Taping in Patients with Neck Pain: A Systematic Review

Öz

The present review was aimed to indicate the existing evidence in the literature on Kinesio Taping (KT) applications used in individuals with neck pain. The literature search was carried out in “PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and Web of Science (WoS)” databases. Twelve studies were included to the review. The quality assessment was conducted using “The Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro)” scale. More than half of the included studies (58.3%) had a “PEDro” scoring score ranging from “6 to 8”. The median and mode “PEDro scores” of the studies were “6.5 and 8”, respectively (min:4, max:9). “Range of Motion (ROM)” and “Neck Disability Index” are the most widely used (75%) measurement methods. In the studies, it was determined that the most improvement was in the pain parameter. Kinesio Taping applications may provide additional advantages in terms of pain, ROM and function in the short term. On the other hand, it was deduced that Kinesio Taping applications could contribute to proprioception, psychosocial status and quality of life in the medium term. With further studies, the effect of Kinesio Taping on different parameters such as kinesiophobia, catastrophizing pain, and avoidance of fear should be evaluated.

Boyun Ağrısı Olan Hastalarda Kinezyo Bantlamanın Etkinliği: Sistematik Derleme

Öz

Bu derlemede, boyun ağrılı bireylerde kullanılan Kinezyo Bantlama (KB) uygulamalarına ilişkin literatürdeki mevcut kanıtların gösterilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Literatür taraması “PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus ve Web of Science (WoS)” veri tabanlarında yapılmıştır. On iki çalışma derlemeye dahil edildi. Kalite değerlendirmesi, “Fizyoterapi Kanıt Veri Tabanı (PEDro) ölçeği” kullanılarak gerçekleştirildi. Dahil edilen çalışmaların yarısından fazlası (%58,3) 6 ile 8 arasında değişen bir PEDro skoruna sahiptir. Çalışmaların medyan ve mod PEDro skorları sırasıyla 6,5 ve 8’dir (min:4, maks:9). “Eklem hareket açıklığı (EHA)” ve “Boyun Özür İndeksi” en yaygın olarak (%75) kullanılan ölçüm yöntemleridir. Yapılan çalışmalarda en fazla iyileşmenin ağrı parametresinde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kinezyo Bantlama uygulamaları kısa dönemde ağrı, EHA ve fonksiyon açısından ek avantajlar sağlayabilir. Öte yandan Kinezyo Bantlama uygulamalarının orta vadede propriyosepsiyon, psikososyal durum ve yaşam kalitesine katkı sağlayabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır. Daha fazla çalışma ile Kinezyo Bantlamanın, kinezyofobi, ağrıyı felaketleştirme, korkudan kaçınma gibi farklı parametreler üzerindeki etkisi değerlendirilmelidir.
