Objectives : The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of micro current taping therapy (MTT) on patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP).
Methods : We included 50 participants who met the inclusion criteria and 5 participants dropped out during the sessions due to the following reasons: 3 participants were personal reasons, 1 participant was taking medication, 1 participant was fore arm fracture. We at-tached “I” shaped 40 cm, 2 tapes along the erector muscles of the spine starting from both iliac crest and another “I” shaped 30 cm, 1 tape on the painful site horizontally. This proce-dure was done 8 times and participants visited a total of 9 times including a final visit for evaluation. We measured visual analog scale (VAS), range of motion (ROM) and schober’s test on every visit. Participants completed a questionnaire of oswestry disability index (ODI) and Beck’s depression inventory (BDI) on the first and last visits.
Results : In VAS for pain intensity and bothersomeness, there were significant decreases after 1st, 6th treatments. In range of extension, there was significant increase after 3rd treatment at first. In range of flexion, there was significant increase after 2nd treatment at first. In range of left flexion, there was significant increase after 4th treatment at first. In range of right flexion, there was significant increase after 3rd treatment at first. in schober’s test, there was significant increase after 2nd treatment at first. In VAS, ROM, schober’s test, BDI, ODI, there were significant improvement after all treatments had done.
Conclusions : There was a significant effect of MTT on CLBP. And there was no adverse effect.
