Abstract

Purpose: To compare the therapeutic effects of different taping materials and techniques on pain, functionality, and tissue temperature in patients with lumbar radiculopathy. Methods: Patients with lumbar radiculopathy were included in the study (n = 51). Patients were randomly divided into three groups, which were the elastic taping (n = 17), rigid taping (n = 17), and placebo taping groups (n = 17). All patients were enrolled in a physiotherapy and rehabilitation program that included thermotherapy, electrotherapy, and exercise five times a week for 2 weeks. The pain was measured before and after treatment using the Visual Analogue Scale. Functionality and quality of life were measured using the Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire and Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire. The tissue temperature of the treated area in the lumbar region was measured by digital electronic infra-red thermography. Results: After the treatment, pain, functionality, and quality of life were improved in all groups (p < 0.05). Elastic taping was more effective in decreasing pain and increasing functionality than placebo taping (p < 0.05), but no difference was observed between placebo taping and rigid tapping. Local tissue temperature did not change before and after treatment in the elastic taping group (p > 0.05). Tissue temperature increased in the rigid and placebo taping groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Taping therapy in patients with lumbar radiculopathy has a positive effect on pain and functional status. Elastic taping can be recommended for clinical use because its effect is superior in some recovery parameters and its ease of use.

弹性治疗性贴敷和刚性贴敷对腰椎神经根病疼痛、功能和组织温度的影响:一项随机对照研究。

目的:比较不同胶带材料和技术对腰椎神经根病患者疼痛、功能和组织温度的治疗效果。方法:将51例腰椎神经根病患者纳入研究。将患者随机分为弹性贴敷组(n = 17)、刚性贴敷组(n = 17)和安慰剂贴敷组(n = 17)。所有患者都参加了物理治疗和康复计划，包括热疗法、电疗和每周5次、持续2周的锻炼。采用视觉模拟评分法测量治疗前后疼痛程度。使用Oswestry下腰痛残疾问卷和Roland-Morris残疾问卷测量功能和生活质量。采用数字电子红外热像仪测量腰椎治疗区组织温度。结果:治疗后各组患者疼痛、功能、生活质量均有改善(p < 0.05)。结论:腰神经根病患者使用胶带治疗对疼痛和功能状态有积极的影响。弹性胶带在某些恢复参数上效果较好，且使用方便，可推荐临床使用。

期刊介绍： Somatosensory & Motor Research publishes original, high-quality papers that encompass the entire range of investigations related to the neural bases for somatic sensation, somatic motor function, somatic motor integration, and modeling thereof. Comprising anatomical, physiological, biochemical, pharmacological, behavioural, and psychophysical studies, Somatosensory & Motor Research covers all facets of the peripheral and central processes underlying cutaneous sensation, and includes studies relating to afferent and efferent mechanisms of deep structures (e.g., viscera, muscle). Studies of motor systems at all levels of the neuraxis are covered, but reports restricted to non-neural aspects of muscle generally would belong in other journals.
