Brief summary (from the registry)
Low back pain can be seen in every period of life. More than 80 percent of the society complain of low back pain at any time of life. Although the frequency of applying to a health institution due to low back pain varies from one society to the other, it takes place in the first three places in each community. Low back pain should be differentiated as new (acute) and long-term (chronic). In the treatment of chronic low back pain, rest, education, pharmacological treatment, physical therapy, painful point injections, surgical interventions, kinesio taping can be applied. The most frequently used physical therapy modalities for treatment of chronic low back pain are superficial and deep heat modalities (hot pack, infrared, ultrasound, microwave diathermy radar) and analgesic effective electrotherapy (TENS, interferential flows) modalities. One of the most important treatments is exercise therapy. In cases where conventional treatment of chronic low back pain is insufficient, that is, the patient's pain is still ongoing and functional recovery is insufficient, some alternative methods are also applied. These treatments include ozone, prolotherapy injection applications, dry needling, acupuncture, phytotherapy, balneotherapy, kinesio taping and so on. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of painful point injection and kinesio taping treatments in lumbar region in patients with chronic low back pain.
