بررسی اثر اضافه شدن تکنیک کینزیوتیپ به درمان معمول فیزیوتراپی در بیماران مبتلا به اختلال عملکرد مکانیکال گردن

Background: neck pain is one of the common musculoskeletal problem and it can lead to disability and reduction of the quality of life. Neck pain is the most common secondry compliant of patient who present with a primary compliant in a different body area. 70 of the population experiencing an episode of neck pain.It is very important to assess the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in patients with mechanical neck dysfunction. Kinesiotape is an effective technique for treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. The present study aimed to assess the effects of adding Kinesio taping technique on routine physical therapy in the number of patients with mechanical neck dysfunction during the years 2014. Methods: This interventional, randomized clinical trial study conducted in patients who were selected through non probability available sampling in a physiotherapy's clinics. The samples aged 18 to 55 years and suffered from mechanical neck pain. Participants were randomly assigned into two equal groups of 14 participants. Control group underwent the routine physiotherapy include postural correction exercises, streatching exercises, isometric exercises ,ultrasound and electrical stimulation during 4 week. Intervention group underwent routine physiotherapy plus kinesio taping during this period. Then desired outcomes were measured in all samples. These outcomes include the intensity of pain (Visual Analogue Scale), disability ( Neck Disability Index) and range of motion; flexion, extension, right lateral flexion, left lateral flexion, right rotation and left rotation(goniometer). Finally, all of data in two groups collected and statistically analyzed. Results: Frequency of underlying variables did not significant differences between the two groups. The mean of pain scores in both groups was 7.50 at baseline that came to 2.71 in control group and 1.14 in intervention group, that intervention group had a greater reduction than control group (P>0.001). There was no significant differences between control and intervention group in disability scores and rang of motion(P>0.05). Conclusions: In this study, Adding Kinesio Taping Technique on Routine Physical Therapy lead to significant reduction in pain severity in the Patients with mechanical neck dysfunction, but had no effect on reducing disability and improvement in neck range of motion. Further research is clearly needed and recommended. Keywords: Neck , Musculoskeletal Disorder, Neck Pain , mechanical neck pain.
