Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the effect of Kinesio taping on chronic nonspecific low back pain (CNLBP). Methods:The Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, CBM, VIP, and Wanfang Data were searched for the randomized controlled trials (RCT) about the effect of Kinesio taping on CNLBP from establishment to January, 2019. The included studies were evaluated according to the method recommended by the Cochrane Collaboration. RevMan 5.3 software was used to analyze the extracted data. Results:Finally, nine RCTs involving 545 patients were included. Meta-analysis showed that the effect of Kinesio taping was significantly different in the improvement of pain compared with the non-stimulated group (MD = -0.76, 95%CI: -1.43 to -0.08, P = 0.03), the difference might be significant compared with the sham stimulation group (MD = -1.10, 95%CI: -2.22 to 0.02, P = 0.05); For improving dysfunction, the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores were better in the Kinesio taping group than in the non-stimulation group (MD = -6.02, 95%CI: -8.63 to -3.41, P < 0.001) and the sham stimulation group (MD = -4.11, 95%CI: -5.82 to -2.41, P < 0.001), however, their was no significant difference in Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) score between the Kinesio taping group and the non-stimulated group (MD = 0.69, 95%CI: -2.35 to 3.74, P = 0.66), and between the Kinesio taping group and the sham stimulation group (MD = -0.17, 95%CI: -1.43 to 1.08, P = 0.78). Conclusion:For the patients with CNLBP, the intervention of Kinesio taping could alleviate pain and improve function.
