Brief summary (from the registry)
In addition to the physical therapy program, taping was applied to 90 patients diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation. 90 patients were randomized into 3 groups. Group 1 received star-shaped taping to the lumbar region in addition to physical therapy, Group 2 received I-shaped taping to the erector spinae muscles in addition to physical therapy, and Group 3 was planned as the control group. In the first evaluation, sociodemographic information and disease duration (months) were questioned. Then, pain, muscle strength and endurance mobility, lumbar proprioception, functional level, and disability were evaluated. Evaluations were performed before treatment, after taping and at the end of the 12th week.
