Brief summary (from the registry)
This study aimed to compare the effects of functional taping, manual therapy, and stereodynamic interference current applications on pain, functional capacity, sleep quality, and kinesiophobia in individuals with chronic low back pain (LBP). Conducted with 88 participants, the study divided them into four groups: a control group (standard physiotherapy), a functional taping group, a manual therapy group, and a stereodynamic interference current group. All groups received 10 sessions of treatment, 3 days a week. The study evaluated pain intensity (VAS), fear of movement (FOM), functional disability (ODI), and sleep quality (PSQI) at three points: before treatment, after treatment, and one month later. Results showed that manual therapy significantly improved pain levels (p\<0.05), while stereodynamic interference current also reduced pain. Functional taping was most effective in reducing kinesiophobia (p\<0.05). No significant differences were observed between the groups in terms of the Oswestry Disability Index and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scores (p\>0.05). The study concluded that manual therapy was the most effective for pain control, and functional taping was superior for managing kinesiophobia, emphasizing the need for individualized and multidisciplinary approaches in treating musculoskeletal health issues.
