The effect of the kinesio taping on pain different etiology

Uvod: Uporaba terapevtskega postopka z elastičnimi lepilnimi trakovi je postala široko razširjena metoda, ki se uporablja v rehabilitaciji za preprečevanje in zdravljenje mišično-skeletnih stanj. Znanih je veliko prednosti nameščanja elastičnih lepilnih trakov, vključno s proprioceptivno facilitacijo, mišično facilitacijo, zmanjšanjem utrujenosti mišic in mišičnega mačka, inhibicijo bolečine ter izboljšanjem limfne drenaže in krvnega pretoka. Namen članka je na podlagi pregleda literature ugotoviti, ali uporaba elastičnih lepilnih trakov zmanjša bolečino različne etiologije. Metode: Za iskanje člankov so bile uporabljene podatkovne zbirke Cobiss, Google Scholar, Medline, PubMed, ProQuest in Science Direct. Raziskave so bile vrednotene z metodologijo, ki jo je izdelalo združenje Scottish Intercollegiate Network. Rezultati: Izmed 19 študij se je v trinajstih študijah v skupinah z elastičnimi lepilnimi trakovi bolečina zmanjšala, v dveh študijah je sicer prišlo zmanjšanja bolečine, vendar so spremembe imele majhno klinično vrednost, v preostalih štirih študijah pa do zmanjšanja bolečine ni prišlo. Zaključki: Trinajst študij je potrdilo učinkovitost nameščanja elastičnih lepilnih trakov pri zmanjšanju bolečine in priporočilo njegovo uporabo. Že majhno zmanjšanje bolečine lahko pripomore k večji dejavnosti oziroma boljšemu počutju, zato bi bilo treba v prihodnje narediti še več randomiziranih poskusov, ki bi raziskovali učinkovitost nameščanja elastičnih lepilnih trakov pri bolečini.Introduction: Kinesio-taping has become a widely used rehabilitation modality for the prevention and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. There are many proposed benefits of kinesio-taping including proprioceptive facilitation, muscle facilitation, reduced muscle fatigue, reduced delayed onset muscle soreness, pain inhibition, improvement of lymphatic drainage and blood flow. The purpose of this work is based on a review of Slovenian and foreign literature to determine the efficacy of kinesio-tape on pain different ethology. Methods: Articles were searched through the following databases: Cobiss, Google Scholar, Medline, PubMed, ProQuest and Science Direct. Studies were evaluated with methodology compiled by Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network. Results: Of the nineteen studies, the pain decreased in thirteen studies in groups with kinesio-taping, in two studies the improvements in pain were small and may not be clinically meaningful. In the remaining four studies, there was no decrease in pain. Conclusions: In thirteen studies, the effectiveness of kinesio-taping in reducing pain was confirmed and its use was recommended. Even a small reduction in pain may contribute to the increase of activity and feeling better. It would be necessary to carry out more randomised studies to confirm the effects of kinesiotaping on pain
