Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of balancing taping therapy on reducing headache
in patients with angina pectoris undergoing nitrate IV therapy.
Methods: A non-equivalent control group nonsynchronized design was used. A total of 50 patients with angina pectoris undergoing nitrate therapy at G hospital participated in the study. For measuring pain intensity, the Visual Analogy Scale (VAS) and Non-Verbal Pain Behavior Scale were used. Data were analyzed using SPSS 19.0 program.
Results: No significant differences were observed between the experimental and control groups in pain intensity. However, the number of times of analgesics of experimental group was significantly lower than those of control group.
Conclusion: Balance taping can be effective in pain for patients undergoing nitrate IV therapy. Therefore, utilizing the balance taping can be useful method to reduce headache in patients with angina pectoris during the IV therapy of nitrate.
